Fractured Fairy Tales

This week in second grade we are learning about fractured fairy tales. A fractured fairy tale is almost the same as any normal fairy tale you know, like Sleeping Beauty or Cindrella, but the author has changed some of the characters, part of the setting or part of the plot of the story.



The last time the second grade was in the library, we heard the Disney story of Cinderella. This week we are reading, Bigfoot Cinderrrrrella by Tony Johnston.


Some of the other great fractured fairy tales we have in the library are: Little Red Cowboy Hat - from Little Red Riding Hood, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs - from The Three Little Pigs, Sumorella - from Cinderella and Beauty and the Beaks - from Beauty and the Beast to name a few.
