Fantasy
I really enjoyed this book because it is a fairytale that I am familiar with. This book has beautiful illustrations. On the third page of the book there is an author's note that basically explains how this tale originated and how the tale has retained phrases such as "start shop" and "peltered". I like that this version of the fairytale ties back to the original tale that was told to Joseph Jacobs in 1860.
This book will be a great resource in my future classroom when we are researching fairytales. This book would also come in handy during an activity in which you compare and contrast different versions of fairytales.
Favorite quote: "Fee-fi-fo-fum! I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive or dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread."
