This week Bashful Book Bee has found a series that will be great teaching tools.

The Animal Fairy Tales by Charlotte Guillain, are not only fun stories, but great lesson resources.  The author takes fairy tales and replaces the main characters with animals.  The rest of the story is very similar to the original fairy tales, but with the change in main characters a new story evolves. Teachers will be able to use the stories as great compare and contrast tools, as a foundation for fairy tale lessons, and even history lessons.  Each book tells the traditional fairy tale, but the new lead character creates new stories and at the end of each book the author provides the history of each original fairy tale.  As much as young children love animals, they will love these stories.
