Description

From New York Times bestselling author and former children's poet laureate Mary Ann Hoberman comes a new collection of eight favorite fairy tales, each reimagined with a fresh twist. Designed with emerging readers in mind, the tales feature short rhyming dialogues color-coded for two voices to read aloud together. The interactive format encourages young readers to engage with traditional reading techniques such as alliteration, rhyme, repetition, and short sentences. Accompanied by Michael Emberley's lively illustrations, this collection includes stories such as 'The Three Bears,' 'Cinderella,' and 'Little Red Riding Hood,' making it perfect for early and reluctant readers, readers' theater, and bedtime fun. It is recognized as a 2005 Notable Children's Book in the Language Arts and a 2004 Gryphon Award Honor Book.
