What I'm reading: Rapunzel

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Rapunzel by Rachel Isadora. I have always enjoyed reading fairy tales especially when they are retold in different settings. Last year, I went to a theatre show in East London with my family and we enjoyed watching the performance of several stories from the Brothers Grimm's fairy-tale collection. Fairy tales can be quite dark and enjoyed by adults as well as children.

Not only is Rapunzel by Rachel Isadora bursting with colourful collages that reflect African culture, it also ties in really well with our other book that we have been reading in Year 3, The Village of Square and Round Houses.

What is your favourite Rachel Isadora book and why?
How are Brothers Grimm's fairy tales different to classic stories?

  3. My favourite book she has written is Hansel and Gretel because they went out into the forest.It is different from the original version because they used African foods instead of candy which I din't like because I love candy and I eat it everyday.
