As I finish this past Author study (Allen Say) I want to start reading Fairy tales and Fables with my 7 year old.

So what are your recommendations?????

Here is what I have so far: (They are directly from Elizabeth's book and the one's that my library has)

Rapunzel (Zelinsky)
Goldilocks and the three bears (Brett)
Thumbelina (Jeffers)
Snow white and the seven dwarfs (Jarell)
Snow white and Rose red (Cooney)
Cinderella (Marcia Brown)
The three Billy goats gruff (Galdone)

Fables (Lobel)

Also does anyone have any links for unit studies with Fairy Tales???

Also, I think Cay Gibson (she's a member here) has/had a book list/literature study for different Cinderella tales from around the world.
