Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We just finished Aunt Pitty Patty's Piggy, a retold tale by Jim Aylesworth and illustrated by Barbara McClintock. Very funny and tongue twister-ish.

Last week we read The Tale of Tricky Fox and we had previously read The Gingerbread Man when we did our Gingerbread Man rabbit trail. So I'm "just" discovering the fact that this author/illustrator team have a series of these retold tales. They are really nicely done and we have enjoyed them a lot. I just saw that they have a new one. I'm very excited to get my hands on The Mitten and have just requested it.

These are the titles I found that they have done together on the retelling of folk and fairy tales.
