”My my, what big eyes do you have?”

I would use this book in the classroom to help teach children the importance of listening to adult and their parents.

“ Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair.”

I would NOT use this book in the classroom because it‘s is violent and not a nice fairytale. There are other versions of the Rapunzel that would be better suited to a classroom setting, such as the Disney additions.

while I love the brothers Grimm books I don't feel like I could have them in my classroom a they are kinda violent and not something I would feel confutable with the kids reading
traditional literature

I love brothers Grimm books and have for a while, in fact my family has a collection of old ones. Little Red Riding Hood is not my favorite of the Brothers Grimms but is still a good one. The illustrations in the book I had were not my favorite and there are better ones out there.

Traditional literature

“What big eyes you have!”

Little Red Riding Hood sets off to visit her sick grandmother, bringing her a basket of goodies. On the way, she meets a cunning wolf who tricks her into revealing her destination. The wolf races ahead, eats the grandmother, and disguises himself to deceive Little Red Riding Hood.

This story offers an opportunity to teach the importance of listening to parents and being cautious with strangers. Students can share experiences about following safety advice and the consequences of not doing so, fostering discussions about trust and intuition.
