What a creative little book. It will be great for students reading in pairs or a teacher reading with a child. A great way to introduce reading parts, as in a play, as well. The book is set up in "parts" to be read by different readers or one reader using different voices. The "parts" are differentiated by color. Stories include; The Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Three Billy Goats Gruff and a few more. Each story ends with, "you read to me and i ...more
This book has eight fairy tales. The book is laid out so two voices can read-aloud each poem. The placement and different colored text show the different parts. One line is shown in orange, and the other, magenta. Each fairy tale poem ends with the line, "You read to me. I'll read to you." The entire fairy tale is not used in each poem, instead, a selection is chosen and used to retell experiences that will keep the children engaged and reading. Each selection has a happy ending...more

A perfect full participation book for two groups or two readers. The print is in two colors so it is easy to distinguish turns to read. The stories each add a twist to the original version and end with the characters reading to one another. GREAT FUN and a book that will be read again, and again, and again! I think it is even better than the original New York Times bestseller!
This book includes The Three Bears, The Princess and the Pea, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, The Three Little Pigs, The Little Red Hen and the Grain of Wheat, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. This book is fantastic! I love the idea behind it of reading together. The rhyming is also very cute and each story is told from a different perspective.
This book is pretty good. It is a book that contains story poem based on fairytales that are designed the be partner read. Students would enjoy read with a partner back and forth. It would also be a good book for compare its fairytale stories to the traditional fairytale stories because some of the stories in this book are different.
This is a great collection of fairy tales that are in a poetry format. This would be a great book to use for a lesson on poetry, as most students will already be familiar with the fairy tales presented.
This is a great series to inspire enthusiasm for reading. Young children love taking turns reading!!!! I highly recommend each of the books in this series. I can't wait for the new one to come out.

First thing out of my daughter's mouth when I read this aloud was "I want that for my classroom library!!".
What a fun book! Can't read just one!
What a fun book! Can't read just one!
These books are excellent for children developing reading skills. There is many in the series.
This is a good book for partners or the student and teacher to read different parts like a play. A fun drama center activity in the classroom.
Mary Ann Hoberman deserves a great deal of credit for bringing reading alive.
Perfect for a pre-schooler
Abbreviated fairy tales told in a poetic manner. Many of these tales were either told from a different perspective than the original story or went beyond the text. I think it's a great way to expand on folklore and ease kids into some poetry as well. The poems were short and easy to understand. Many of them were told in a conversational manner which is a good way to demonstrate how poetry comes in many different forms. This is a good story to read on many different levels.
GREAT to read with a young reader. Easy, short phrases for young readers and also love the sections where we both read together. Love how she used some classic Fairy Tales and her little version of them.
This book is a fun way to do plays, coral reading, and read alouds. I would use this book when discovering poetry and when working on presentaion GLEs/EALRS. It would also be fun when workin with types of literature. You could be working on fairy tales and doa poetry extension wth this book.
Good for a theatrical child old enough to read/role play. The child should be old enough to be familiar with the original versions of the fairy tales, and mature enough to appreciate the spoofs done on them. (oh I don't know, maybe 7 or 8 years old...)
Will enjoy more next year when Aidan can more easily participate. I didn't realize the title was so literal, with color coded passages for each reader. But we enjoyed the illustrations and humor added to the familiar stories (especially the 3 little pigs).
This is a really fun book to read with your kids! I use it a lot at school. Each fairy tale is a poem for two characters that talk back and forth. We're going to be using them for our end-of-year program.
This book was so much fun to read. I read it with my Mommy. My Mom liked it, too.
This makes it fun to read fairy tales. When kids are learning to become fluent in their reading, there is a whole series of these types of books that help them read with expression!
I think kids would like this book because it introduces poetry through familiar fairytales. It would be a great partner read or read aloud. I would use this to introduce poetry.
I had tears in my eyes, and was filled with pride as I read this book all the way through with my 6 year new reader. Love it!
i was so bored i couldn't finish! for older kids than mine.
Super clever and really fun to read with new readers!
A fun way to get children excited about reading.
Great book for tandem reading!
Maddie and I love this series.
