“But just then the earth gave way, and head over heels she tumbled and tumbled.“

I would use this in a classroom during a unit on fairy tales and wonder tales. I think this story does a great job of showing the story and imagination through the literature and illustrations.

The Funny Little Woman was written in 1973 and is a Japanese folktale of a wonder tale. This is a wonder tale because of the magical elements the story includes. It is also a trickster tale as the Little Woman finds sneaky ways to escape in the story.

This book would be used in my classroom during the fall time ot engage students in the season and feelings around fall and festivities. I think that students would engage in this story with excitement and be interested ot hearing more when reading.

This picture book shows excellent illustrations to demonstrate the captivating words of a story follwing a carrot who has a creepy feeling about carrots. The images are mostly black and white, which adds to the “creepy“ effect. The illustrator also adds to this by showing different angles of depth and shapes of images. The illustrations tell the story without having to read the words.

“Now, my little chicken“, said Papa, “you must try not to interrupt.“

I would use this children's book in my classroom when we are practicing the rules and procedures of a classroom. Learning about patients and respecting others by not talking over them is important. This would be a great way to show students how interrupting others can affect the person who is sharing.
