Fairytale Take Offs
Babette Cole has many books
The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munch
Mary Ann Hoberman * You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: very short fairy tales to
read together
Little Red Ridin' in the Hood: and other Cuentos' by Patricia Santos
Marcantonio and Renato Alarcao is a compilation of classic fairy tales with
a Latino twist. For example, in Jaime and Gabriela (Hansel and Gretel), the
witch's house that they come upon is made of pan dulce with steaming hot
tamales for a roof. In Juan and the Pinto Bean Stalk, the giant says "Ay yi
yi yo, I smell the blood of a lazy niņo!".
There is a book called, Leaping Beauty and other Animal Fairy Tales by Gregory
Maguire and Chris L. Demarest, which is full of take offs.
