Since I am currently working on getting my teaching credential, I am not only reading a bunch of textbooks and articles, but many children's books as well. We started a new unit in our language arts, where students get to learn the elements of a fairy tale. The unit began with a modern retelling of Cinderella. So I decided to read a few variations of this classic tale. Let's begin with the Halloween themed ones:
Book #1
CinderHazel: The Cinderella of Halloween by Deborah Nourse
Lattimore
Life with his little brother, two-year-old Fudge, makes Peter Hatcher
feel like a fourth grade nothing. Fudge is actually a tiny terror in
disguise, causing mischief everywhere he goes. Whether Fudge is throwing
a temper tantrum in a shoe store, smearing mashed potatoes on the walls
at Hamburger Heaven, or trying to fly, he’s never far from trouble.
He’s an almost three-year-old terror who gets away with everything, and
Peter’s had it up to here!
When Fudge walks off with Dribble, Peter’s pet turtle, it’s the last
straw. Peter has put up with Fudge for too long. Way too long! How can
he get his parents to pay attention to him for a change?
