As a teen, I LOVED this book! It was truly one of my favorites.

You think you know the story of Snow White? Think again. Grump, an unusual dwarf fascinated with the surface world is here to set the record straight.

This was an adorable and an interesting twist on a rather classic fairy tale. Grump is a snarky & curios POV that you can‘t help but sympathize with. Snow was spunky & clever. The narrator was perfect for the tone. I really enjoyed this, but felt the epilogue was entirely unnecessary. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

LaurelChandler Hi! Could you point me out who started #FairytaleReadingChallenge? I'd like to join the fun! 3y
BookmarkTavern @LaurelChandler Hi, of course! @Charityann is the one who started this particular challenge. This is the second year. There‘s a fairy tale for each month, and there‘s more info here: https://charityrau.wordpress.com/2021/12/28/fairytale-reading-challenge-2022/ 3y
LaurelChandler @ozma.of.oz Thank you! I live for retellings and this looks wonderful. Also, love your review! 3y

An old children‘s book I never read, but it was a cute read! Follows a handful of kids and their worries ranging from having a crush to not wanting their stepmother. Cute read filled with British humor that may not be everyone‘s cup of tea. A bit of a product of it‘s time, but I liked it.

Just trying to get through my physical TBR, and trust me I‘ve got a long way to go haha. Promise it‘s not all comics and children lit. 😂

4/5🌟

Shaskan‘s twist on this TL story makes it a must add to elementary classrooms! The wicked stepmothers side of the story will have readers second guessing the classic tale. This story would do well in a DR setting. An article from ERIC explains the benefits of DR, and the techniques that can be implemented in the classroom. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED372435.pdf

Betrinag UDL principle 1.1, customizing the display of information, and EL strategy 16, integrating speaking activities, will tie the book and DR together. #ucflae3414sp21 4y
PatriciaS This wonderful picture on the cover ☺️ makes me want to read and then your review 👍 thanks for this addition to my list. Looks like it is fun and hilarious 😆 4y
PatriciaS A wonderful way to incorporate fun reading habits with children and discussion sessions, guided questions about the reading to assess students comprehension. 4y
Betrinag @PatriciaS It was really fun, highly recommend! 4y
DrSpalding What a fun read! Yes it is a variant of traditional literature that could also be considered modern fantasy! This would make a very fun dramatic reenactment and could be used in your language arts curriculum as a mentor text for point of view. 4y

Y‘all ever have that book that you read as a kid but have a hard time remembering the title? This was that book for me. For YEARS I couldn‘t seem to locate it, and today it pops up on a donation cart at the library. What book do you wish would resurface so you stop feeling crazy?

Guys. I‘m about to get REAL vulnerable right now, but I need some serious help/advice/book suggestions... as I‘ve mentioned in previous posts, I have two stepdaughters (ages 5 & 6). As any of you can imagine or know from experience, it is HARD. (Continued in comments) #stepmother #stepmothertroubles #helpme #advice #booksuggestions #cryforhelp

MolliesaurusRex So obviously I deal with a lot of the regular struggles of “you‘re not my mom” and whatever. But 6 also has incredibly high anxiety. Not diagnosed, at least not yet, but as someone with an anxiety diagnosis who has looked back on my own issues as a child and realized that my anxiety was where they stemmed from, I recognize the same things in her. 6y
MolliesaurusRex Lately, she has been throwing explosive fits and become very violent with her father and I. It‘s only with us, though. Not their mother. Not their grandparents. Not in school. Just at our house (or in our car, apparently). It starts the moment she doesn‘t get her way, & it‘s gotten so bad that, following tonight‘s outburst.... 6y
MolliesaurusRex ...my arm is swollen and covered in bruises (luckily that‘s all she could reach; I should also mention that the swelling and bruising is even after ice has been applied). Her mother isn‘t cooperative with us, instead choosing to blame their father for everything because it makes her feel better about the situation. 6y

MolliesaurusRex We‘re getting them into counseling as soon as humanly possible (they‘re currently on 3 different waiting lists and we‘re doing everything we can to turn at least one of those into an appointment), but in the meantime, I need help. We can‘t keep doing this. Neither of us knows what to do anymore. So literally anything you guys have for us will be so incredibly appreciated.❤️ you‘re all an awesome community to be part of.❤️❤️ 6y
Chrissyreadit @MolliesaurusRex please feel free to email me and give me more info. I just saw this. I‘m sure I can give you some resources and strategies, I just need some additional info. (I am a clinical behavior specialist and primarily work with children- all my info would be to tide you over and keep you safe while waiting for counseling though) 6y
MolliesaurusRex @Chrissyreadit that‘s honestly all we‘re trying to do right now. I absolutely will reach out to you. Thank you so so much.❤️❤️❤️ 6y
