Publisher Description:
Bewitching scenes from Hansel and Gretel, magical transformations from the Ugly Duckling and happy endings from Sleeping Beauty will inspire new tales
Within the pages of this book are opportunities to write tales of travels through mysterious forests, to invent new companions to help defeat a wicked witch, or to conjure up the ultimate punishment for an innocent prince. Budding authors will have stories to write, journal entries to fill in and pictures of new characters to draw, all inspired by some of the best-loved fairy tales from around the world"not only the well-known stories of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, but also less familiar tales from Eastern Europe, India and the Middle East. The book is also packed full of writing tips, fairy tale fun facts and mind-boggling puzzles to complete.
Are these literary analysis or writing instruction books? There is so much great information packed into such an attractive package: a visual symphony of images and instruction for each theme. For example, you will learn tidbits about the origin of fairy tales, the 5 most popular ways to begin a fairy tale, as well as prompts and outlines to write your own story (i.e. beginning, set-up, obstacle and ending). Along the way is a surprising amount of literary analysis as students are guided step by step through the writing process. Some pages have students writing in the book directly, making these a charming keepsake. They are so pretty that you will want to read again and again! 6.75x7.75", 96pp. SC. ~ Sara
