The second graders have been comparing and contrasting different fairy tale versions. Just what does a the Cinderella named Yeh Shen from China have in common with the original Cinderella? What exactly is the Wolf's side of the story in The Three Little Pigs? Who do you believe?
We had the exciting opportunity to spend the day with Candace Fleming author of Muncha, Muncha, Muncha, Tippy, Tippy Tippy Hide, Boxes for Katje and many more. We learned that the best authors are storytellers that take their life experiences, add a little imagination and weave it into a special tale. It takes a lot of work and versions to create a story you "love".
