Stories to enthral: The books Deep in the Woods Christopher Corr 978-1847807267 Deep in the woods is a little wooden house, with nine neat windows and a

red front door. When a little mouse decides it will make the perfect home,

so do the other animals in the wood – including a great big bear! But will

the bear be able to put everything right when their home comes tumbling

down?

Find out in this beautifully illustrated retelling of a classic Russian folk tale.

Christopher Corr is an established author/illustrator whose many books have won him international acclaim. He studied at the Royal College of Art, and now lives and works in London as an artist and tutor at Goldsmiths University. Deep in the woods was a little wooden house. It was painted bright white, with nine neat windows and a red front door. It was the perfect little home, but it stood empty, cold and sad.

Talk together about this story and the pictures – which bit did you like best in the story? What do you think of the way the pictures are drawn and coloured? Which is your favourite picture? This story builds with one creature after another coming to the house. Can you think of other stories like this, where the list of characters grows to a crescendo? – for example Mr Gumpy’s Outing (John Burningham) and The Elephant and the Bad Baby (Elfrida Vipont).

Fairy Tales Gone Wrong series – three titles:

Blow Your Nose, Big Bad Wolf Steve Smallman & Bruno Merz 978-1781716472 Here are encouraging messages about good health and hygiene in this

new series, featuring favourite stories and characters – with a twist!

In Blow Your Nose, Big Bad Wolf! the three little pigs learn a lesson about spreading germs. When they won't lend the wolf a tissue, their houses are blown down by his sneezes! And to make matters worse,

they then catch his cold. …he sneezed a gigantic, snotty sneeze. It was so gigantic that it blew down the house of sticks! ‘Yuck!’ squealed the little pigs, and they ran next door.

Eat Your Greens, Goldilocks Steve Smallman & Bruno Robert 978-1781716458

In Eat Your Greens, Goldilocks! the three bears play host to a very fussy

eater. Goldilocks only likes things 'just so', and she hates eating vegetables!

But the bears are determined to give her a healthy meal.

On the table were three bowls of porridge. ‘Not poopy gloopy porridge!’ moaned Goldilocks. But her tummy grumbled so loudly that she decided to try it.

Give Us a Smile, Cinderella Steve Smallman & Marcin Piwowarski 978-1781716496

Every day Cinderella brushes her teeth twice whilst her two sisters eat

cakes and sweets all day. Can her sparkling smile take her from rags to

riches? Follow Cinderella in this hilarious twist of the classic fairy tale and

discover why it's important to brush your teeth.

Page 5 of 18

Poor Cinderella worked hard all day. But no matter how tired she was, she always brushed her teeth twice a day – once in the morning and again just before bedtime. Steve Smallman has been illustrating children’s books for almost 30 years and writing his own stories for slightly less. He also teaches illustration workshops in schools, including mural-painting. He is the winner of the 2009 Sheffield Children’s Book award

Fascinated by colour from an early age, Bruno Robert attended the National School of Fine Arts in Caen, France. He now works for the press and various publishing agencies from his hometown of

Normandy.

Marcin Piwowarski is an abstract painter and illustrator of over 150 widely known children's books. He lives in Poland.

At the end of each book in this series there is a ‘Next steps’ section, with suggestions for discussion and more things to think about. As often in fables and fairy tales there is a lesson in each of these stories – e.g. brush your teeth regularly; use a tissue if you have a cold; eat a healthy diet! Can you think of some more advice which you could build into other fairy tales? – e.g. for Red Riding Hood ‘Don’t go on your own into the woods’! What would you say to Snow White? Or Pinocchio?

How the Library (not the Prince) Saved Rapunzel Wendy Meddour & Rebecca Ashdown 978-1847806628 Rapunzel sits on the sixteenth floor of an inner city block, bored, dreaming

and looking out at the rain. No one can rouse her from her apathy, not the milkman or the postman or the baker or her aunt – or even the prince. But when at last a letter is delivered, it contains news that has Rapunzel on her feet again. She has a new job at the library! And suddenly her life

is busy, sparkling, exciting and stimulating. Wendy Meddour is an author and illustrator. Her book A Hen in the Wardrobe won the John C Laurence Award for writing that improves relations between races. She lives in Wiltshire. Rebecca Ashdown Petrie worked as a filmmaker and freelance vector artist, and has now returned to traditional image making and illustration. Her work currently combines a mix of drawing, printmaking and collage with digital techniques.

With the wind in his hair, and blowing his hooter, Along came the prince on the back of a scooter. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, please let down your hair!” Called the prince from down on the bottom stair… But Rapunzel just sat – As still as a wall; She didn’t think much of the prince at all. For despite her long hair and her ravishing looks, she loved nothing better than reading good books!

What do you think are the main messages in this story? e.g. about people, and about libraries. Talk about libraries: what are all the things which you can get from the library? What do you like about the library? What would you do if there were no library? Imagine you’re writing a new picture book: How Rapunzel Saved the Library – what would Rapunzel do in your story to help keep her library open? Have a look at the original Rapunzel story, and the similarities and differences. Look at the pictures of all the people sitting at the windows in Rapunzel’s block of flats. Talk about who they are and make up stories about them. Sarah Gibb Rapunzel HarperCollins 978-0007364800

The Crow’s Tale Naomi Howarth 78-1847806147 In the dark depths of winter, snow is falling and the animals are freezing

and famished. Brave Crow sets out on a dangerous journey to find the

Sun, and beg for warmth. Will Crow succeed, and what will happen to

his colourful rainbow feathers?

Inspired by a Lenape Native American myth, this beautiful debut picture

book shows how courage and kindness are what really matter.

Naomi Howarth studied Costume for Performance at the London College of Fashion, and then

worked in the film industry before deciding to pursue a career in illustration. Naomi has a strong

interest in myth, legend and folklore. The Crow’s Tale is her first published book and has been

shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. Her second book, Tug of War, will be

published in 2017 by Frances Lincoln Children’s Books. She lives in west London. With his radiant feathers and sweet singing voice, the animals knew they has made the right choice. The magnificently coloured kaleidoscope Crow was the one who would battle through ice, wind and snow.

Read and talk about the introduction at the beginning of this book, setting the story in context. Talk about the pictures, for example the colours and the way the textures of the animal skins are painted – which pictures do people like best? Find out more about crows. ‘Your beauty inside is the heart of the matter’ – what do people think about this? What similar sayings do we have? Other versions of this story

Queen Guinevere – and other stories from the court of King Arthur Mary Hoffman & Christina Balit 978-1847807168 In this dramatic retelling, based on Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, Britain’s legendary King Arthur and the tales surrounding him are viewed from the perspective of eight women. Determined and resourceful, they drive the Camelot story through love, hate, intrigue, enchantment and tragedy as, one by one, their voices come swirling out

of the mists of time to tell their stories. Mary Hoffman has written over 100 books for children that range from picture books to teenage fiction, including Amazing Grace, The Colour of Home and An Angel Just Like Me - as well as the hugely successful Great Big Book of Families, illustrated by Ros Asquith, which won the 2011 SLA Information Book Award. Mary lives in Oxfordshire. See her website.

Christina Balit has exhibited widely and is also a playwright. Kingdom of the Sun (written by Jaqueline Mitton), won the 2002 English Association Award for non-fiction.

When the messenger rode across our narrow bridge, I was looking out of a window. My blood seemed to stop its journey around my body when I saw the livery of Uther Pendragon. That’s the second sight. All the women in our family have it to some extent...

Choose one of the women in these stories: draw a picture of her and beneath your picture write her name and a short character sketch about her.

The Arabian Nights Robert Leeson & Christina Balit 978-1847807151 For these ten masterly retellings, entrancing and gloriously funny by turns, Robert Leeson has selected a feast of tales that give a rich flavour of the Thousand and One Nights. The collection ranges from well-loved tales of treasure, magical power and quick wits (Aladdin, The Fisherman and the Jinni, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves) to hilarious romps (The Woman with Five Suitors, The Story of the Hunchback, The Sleeper and

the Waker); it includes a magical romance (The Ebony Horse), and also a scattering of spiced sweetmeats (The Dream, The Donkey). Christina Balit’s splendidly decorative illustrations together with a glossary and sources, create a beautiful classic. Robert Leeson (1928–2013) did two years’ army service in the Middle East and developed a keen interest in Arabic culture. From the early 1970s he wrote history books and over 70 children’s books, and contributed to literary journals. His book Grange Hill Rules OK? inspired the BBC series Grange Hill.. In 1985 he won the Eleanor Farjeon Award for Services to Children and Literature. It is related, though only One on High knows all, that once, in a city in China, lived a poor, honest tailor with his wife, as hard-working as he. They had a son whom they loved dearly, and his name was Aladdin.

These are lovely stories for reading aloud to your group. Start by setting the scene with the story of Scheherezade – and listening to Rimsky Korsakov’s atmospheric music! Look at the beautiful designs for the borders of the pages of this book. Find books about Persian art, and explore on the internet, and then have a go at creating some more border designs for these stories. More versions of the Arabian Nights stories

The Wild Swans Jackie Morris 978-1847805362 This is a beautiful and lyrical extended version of the fairy tale The Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen. With strong characterisation of the heroine and also with more rounded depiction of the stepmother than in the original version, and with delicate watercolour paintings throughout, this is both a wonderful story and delightful gift. Jackie Morris lives by the sea in Pembrokeshire, Wales, where she writes and paints. Her picture books for Frances Lincoln include The Ice

Bear, The Snow Leopard and How the Whale Became (by Ted Hughes). They had been together for seven years and a day now. Not once had she given him reason to distrust her. Perhaps he should tell her about the children? Perhaps she could be a mother to them? But how could he explain, without shame, why he had kept them secret in the first place, and for so long? How could he do that without making her realise what little trust he placed in her?

Compare this book with the original story of The Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen. What do you like best about each? You would not share yours, I will not share mine (p72). Talk about …the different portrayal, in each version, of the relationship between the children’s father and his new wife. What do you think of the king’s treatment of his wife in Jackie Morris’s version, and how it affected his queen? On page 11 there are descriptions of the birds which Cygfa loves to watch: how many do you know? Find out more about them. The day that she stopped speaking was the day she began to understand so much more about the world around her, to appreciate the many textures of silence. (p9) Talk about…choosing not to speak at all. Why does Eliza not speak? Would you be able to do this? What would you feel? Would it help you to listen more? Another version of The Wild Swans

Folk tales and fairy tales Folk tales were told by storytellers and passed down from generation to generation and usually have some kind of link with a real place, person or creature. For example there was probably a king in the South West of England in the 6th century who inspired the stories about Arthur and Guinevere and the Knights of the Round Table. Fairy tales are offshoots of folk tales. They are stories which usually have some magic or enchantment in them, and mythical characters such as elves, fairies, or goblins. And they often have a happy ‘fairy tale’ ending – think of Cinderella! With your group make a list of all the fairy tales and folk tales you can think of. Ask people to nominate their favourites and say why they specially like them. In How the Library Saved Rapunzel Rapunzel is reading ‘The Library Times’ which has a headline Top 10 Fairy Tales. Have a vote on your group’s Top 10 Fairy Tales – you could create a chart and put it up in the library!

Be storytellers! Lots of these stories weren’t written down to start with, but passed on by people telling them orally, perhaps sitting around a fire sharing warmth and stories, or by a mother to her children. Get your group to have a go at telling a story from one of the books in this pack – each person could tell their chosen story to the rest of the group, or the group could share the telling, dividing up a story amongst themselves. Here are some tips for learning and telling a story!

Choose your story – make sure it’s one that you really like, and that it’s not too long or complicated

Go through the story and make a list of the main scenes in it Draw a ‘map’ of your story –sketch a picture of each scene in order. This will help you to visualise and remember what happens.

Using your ‘map’, tell the story in your own words, saying what happens in each scene; maybe jot down a few words for each scene.

Use your own words; they may vary each time you tell the story but that’s fine. You may want to add in some gestures, or expressions Then practise telling the story out loud, only looking at your ‘map’ when you need to remind yourself about something.

Maybe go somewhere on your own to do this – your room, or on a walk in the park?! – or get your friends to hear you and help you practise! Tell the story out loud over and over till you feel it’s comfortably in your head.

Then you’re ready to share and tell! To give you an idea, here’s how you might ‘map’ Cinderella: Picture of Cinderella in rags with stepmother and stepsisters in finery

Cinderella working hard Invitation to the prince’s ball

Stepmother and sisters off in their carriage while Cinderella sits by the fire Fairy godmother: You shall go to the ball!

Mice and pumpkin: carriage, ball dress and glass slippers

The clock At the ball, dancing with the prince

Midnight; running away, losing the slipper The prince finding the slipper & starting the search

Trying on the slipper; no luck for the stepsisters but for Cinderella it fits

Happy ever after!

Modern fairy tales and tales with a twist How might a fairy tale be different if it was updated and set in today’s world? – such as How the Library(not the Prince) Saved Rapunzel. Or if it was given a twist? – like Give Us a Smile, Cinderella and Blow Your Nose Big Bad Wolf. These four stories are all featured above in this pack. Here are a few more fairy tale updates to look out for:

Believe Me, Goldilocks Rocks! (Nancy Loewen, Raintree) Prince Cinders (Babette Cole, Puffin) Snow White in New York (Fiona French, OUP) The True Story of the Three Little Pigs (Jon Scieszka, Puffin)

Can you think of some more? Get your group to have a go at doing their own fairy tale up-date, or story with a twist!

Designing end-papers The end–papers are the very first and last pages of the book. They often have lovely designs on them using details from the story in the book.

Deep in the Woods (see above for details of this book) has a brilliant pattern of leaves and flowers and insects, and How the Library (not the Prince) Saved Rapunzel (see above) has a design with lots of cats having fun around books.

Choose a story – imagine that it is going to be a new picture book and create a design for the end-papers, based on something in the story. For example, with Cinderella it could be a pattern with pumpkins – or sparkling slippers! With Hansel and Gretel the design could be around lots of different kinds of sweets.
