Books: Mixed Up Fairy Tales

'Mixed Up Fairy Tales' by Hilary Robinson and Nick Sharratt

This split page book allows you to mix and match different fairy stories together to make your own funny tales!
Do you know the tale of Aladdin who climbed up a beanstalk and found a helping of porridge at the top? Have you hear the story of Little Red Riding Hood, who got a scratch from a spinning wheel and turned into a beautiful swan?

This is great either at the start of a topic on fairy stories (to see what fairy stories they know already) or at the end (to reinforce the characters and themes). It's also great for inspiration for children to write their own versions of fairy stories. Well worth getting hold of a copy.
