My only experience with that version has been with 4th graders and up. Isn't it great to see the children adopt the language of the tale. And, it is terrific to hear that you have a play corner. BRAVO! Abdream

This version is also a "serious intruder into the heart." This book is in a text set with many fairy tales my student's already know, such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears. My students love to hate Rumpelstiltskin. He is such a funny little character. He is a popular fairy tale villain in the play corner. I love to hear children using the language from the book as they retell a favorite story.
