If you like fairy tales, you will love Fairly Fairy Tales by Esme Raji Codell. This is just a fun book! I would definitely add this to my school collection as well as read to my toddler daughter- even though she may not know all of the characters yet. This is a great introduction to fairy tales.
The author also wrote a great book/biography I recommend to ALL teachers and even parents...Educating Esme: Diary of a Teacher's First Year. This is the true story about her VERY difficult first year as a teacher and what inspired her to keep going and never give up on her kids!
Parents and children love to play "question" games: Would you eat spaghetti made with gummy worms? Would you wear your clothes backwards all day? Sometimes the answer is "yes" and sometimes it's "no"--but the fun is in the asking. Gifted writer and educator Esme Raji Codell has written a book that incorporates fractured fairy tales with this kind of parent-child interplay to create a perfect combination of bedtime read-aloud and fairy tales that will delight children and parents!
