A read-aloud anthology highlights how one story differs depending on where it comes from. Scholars listen carefully to familiar and new stories, participate in discussions, and complete word work practice. Extensions for each lesson continue the learning experience. Stories include Cinderella, Thumbelina, Little Red Riding Hood, and more!
