So I've clearly picked some fairy tale heavy units! I am not sure if I'll stick with this - I may get sick of it by week 6 or so, we will see. I do enjoy all types of fairy tales, fairy tale retellings and the like so it should be interesting.

I am glad we have two weeks of Native readings and I had a hard time deciding there. I am am Seminole/Creek and would read more from my own tribe and region but most of the available stories seemed to concentrate on other areas. Maybe that is something I can explore for extra credit.

I found my own image for fairy tales. I love old books, even though most of my reading is done digitally. The cover art on the book pictured is just great. I would gladly pick this up and read it.
