Retellings of fairytales are everywhere in literature and the media nowadays. One just has to turn on the TV and see Once Upon A Time or Grimm, and many have seen Shrek. While these are great examples of fairy tales being retold, they pale in comparison to the literature that is currently being published. Books of this genre are for anyone; adults, teens, and children can find their beloved fairy tales reimagined into something exciting but different.
This webite will focus on the books of this genre that are produced for children. I will tell you what a retold fairy tale is, why you should have these books in your classroom, some lesson plans to add to your curriculum, and some books from this genre that are excellent for the classroom. Boys and girls alike will love this genre and I hope this website will encourage you to incorporate books and lesson plans from this genre into your classrooms.
