Lots of great resources to go along with a classic story! My kids loved reenacting it last year with puppets!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for such an extensive list of resources! This is such a great story, and thanks so much also for that clear definition as I was worried the book I picked wasn't actually a folktale!
ReplyDeleteI love this resource list. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a big list of similar books. Baking bread was perfect for this.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this great list of resources.
ReplyDeleteI like that most of us had the chance to learn something this month. I wonder how many times in the past I have confused a fairy tale and a folktale... Your definition was great!
Thank you for helping to bring a spoonful of reading fun to the Poppins Book Nook this month!
