K-4 Different Pt.of View Books (long)

[Karen Jerolamon <kjerola@DEN.K12.DE.US>]

I asked the group about K-4 books demonstrating an alternate point of
view, similar to The True Story of the 3 Pigs by Jon Scieszka (which
I've been told is pronounced like "Fresca"= "Cheska")  Thanks to all who
responded!

Somebody and the 3 Blairs by Tolhurst

Diane Stanley's new book entitled RUMPELSTILSKIN'S DAUGHTER

Charlotte Huck's Princess Furball

Abuelo and the Three Bears (Spanish version, Abuelo y los tres osos)

Big Black Bear (in which the bear visits the girl's house and is very
      rude.)

Mike Thaler's fractured fairy tales: Hansel and Pretzel,
      Cinderella Bigfoot, and there are a couple of others.

Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes has very wry takes on the fairy tale
       stories, but may be over the heads of the K students.

Jane Yolen's Sleeping Ugly is a reversal of the Sleeping Beauty
story

Cinder Edna

Paper Bag Princess (Munsch) in which the girl is the hero.

Jon Scieszka's other books such as the Frog Prince, Continued and The
Stinky Cheese Man.

Judith Viorst in her book of poems _If I were in charge of the  world
and other worriess_ has a section of "fractured" fairy tale poems.

Series of books called Another Point of View.  They are put out by
Raintree Steck-Vaughn Publishers.  They are two books in one.  On one
side of the book is the original story.  On the back side of the book
and upside down is the other point of view. They are written by Dr.
Alvin Granowsky
        Jack and the Beanstalk  -  Giants Have Feelings, Too
        The Tortoise and the Hare  -  Friends at the End
        Goldilocks and the Three Bears  -  Bears Should Share
     HENNY PENNY/BRAINY BIRD SAVES THE DAY!
     THE LITTLE RED HEN/HELP YOURSELF, LITTLE RED HEN!
     THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF/JUST A FRIENDLY OLD TROLL!

Article in the October School Library Journal about 'fractured' fairy
tales, and I remember that several versions of the 3 pigs were
mentioned.

The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig

Beware of Boys

Cinder Edna

Cinder-Elly (reponses came with and without the hyphen) by Minters

Cinder Fella

Princess Stinky-Toes and the Brave Frog Robert

Prince Cinders

Sleepless Beauty

The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas (The
little wolves are gentle and the pig comes around and destroys their
homes.  Very funny.)

The Frog Prince by Alex Berenzy

Little Red Cowboy Hat by Lowell

The Principal's New Clothes by Calmensen

The Frog Princess by Clark

Princess Smartypants by Munsch

Jim and the Beanstalk by Raymond Briggs

The fourth Little pig - Celsi

Cinderella's Rat - Meddaugh (point of view of the rat who was made a
coachman)

The Chicken Sisters

Shoebag (chapter book--coackroach becomes a human)

James Howe's Bunnicula series in picture books and chapter books which
tells the story from the dog's pt of view (Nightmare Before Christmas;
Scary,Scary Halloween; etc)

Picnic (Bunting) wild animals tell of a human's picnic (mostly visual
however)

Just had a book come through today from Junior Library Guild that is
perfect for this topic.  The book is "Dragon scales and willow leaves"
by Terryl Givens, Putnam, 1997, ISBN
0-399-22619-2. It depicts a set of twins who walk through the forest
together but experience vastly different things. You also might search
INDIVIDUALITY-FICTION for others.

Raintree/Steck-Vaugh has a version called The Fourth Little Pig (their
sister) by Celsi

Ruby by Emberley is a version of Little Red Riding Hood

Ernst's Red Riding Hood is a prairie version

Three Cool Kids is a city version of The Three Billy Goats Gruf.

Judy Blume's The Pain and the Great One (sister & brother)

Van Allsburg's Two Bad Ants.

Snow White in New York - by French

There's a book I think called " tales from the Brothers Grim and the
sisters Grimmer" which tells what if for instance Snow White was really
the wicked one and other tales from a different point of view.
