Description
This exciting new collection of read aloud classics will prompt discussions with your child as you explore the original versions of the fairy tales that inspired Disney's animated movies.
This annotated book includes comparisons and discussion points.
Disney is well known for its animated fairy tales, but did you know that many of the stories have origins much farther back in time, and some stories have been revised and retold as they have passed through generations.
If you are looking for a collection of read aloud stories that are sure to prompt discussion you can’t go wrong with this anthology of classic fairy tales that inspired Disney (and Pixar) movies your children know and love.
Before you jump in and read these stories to your children you might wish to pre-read them, only because as wonderful as the Disney versions are they are a rather sanitised version of the originals!
Only you will know whether your children are the right age to enjoy listening to the original tales.
