Summary: Wacky revisions to standard fairy tale stories.

Ideas for use in library:
Read aloud; compare to traditional stories; discuss lessons from stories - are the lessons still there in the wacky version?; Talk about the parts of a book, since Jack and the little red hen mess with the normal layout.

Curriculum connections: Language Arts - learn about traditional fairy tales and compare to fractured fairy tales.
