Many children started school this week with first-day jitters. So, during family storytime, we read fun books about school days. One of my favorites, is The Three Silly Girls Grubb [2] by John and Ann Hassett. The children adore this fractured fairytale, which is loosely based off of the classic Three Billy Goats Gruff. Everyone was laughing themselves silly, and we had a wonderful time. Afterwards, children enjoyed making storyboards of the classic fairytale.
To expand your child's experience, I would like to recommend a few more stories that I think your child will enjoy. Please let me know if you need additional suggestions.
