Petite Rouge - A Cajun Red Riding Hood - By Mike Artell

Definitely get ready to laugh as you read this funny version of the famous "Red Riding Hood" story! Because it is written in Cajun "lingo", reading the narrative aloud in a Southern accent is an absolute must! This book is not only humorous, but also exposes children to the fact that people in various parts of the country often have a different way of saying things. The fun illustrations make the storyline even more charming. 

Jack And The Beanstalk - Retold By John Cech

This is the best rendition of Jack's story that I have ever read!  Jack does steal the giant's most prized possessions, in order to provide for he and his mother, but neither the golden eggs nor the gold coins lasts forever.  In this unique version of the tale, the giant's wife decides to leave her husband, following Jack down the beanstalk and later becoming one of his mother's dearest friends. Very soft and delightful illustrations accompany the narrative.
