CallieHennessee | Jul 22, 2015 |    ) sabdelaz | Feb 23, 2014 | Review: It was a funny book to read after having grown up with these fairy tales. I would definitely keep this book for the older kids due to the tales and illustrations being slightly frightening at times. jwied2 | Jun 15, 2013 |  ) tmaslen | Jun 12, 2013 |  ) melodyreads | May 28, 2013 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
What were all those fairy-tale characters thinking? Jane Yolen and Rebecca Kai Dotlich answer this question in paired poems, with sometimes startling results. The Princess claims all those mattresses kept her awake?not a silly pea?while the poor pea complains that the princess snores. One Snow White begs the witch to settle by the bay and throw that mirror away. Another boldly tells the mirror she ?won?t be guided by a glass that?s so one-sided.? Grumbles from the Forest is a bewitching brew of voices?grumbling, pleading, bragging, reminiscing, confiding?that bubbles with magic and wonder. The spectacular paintings that tie the poems together are full of surprise and intrigue. This stunning collection includes end notes that briefly describe the tales and their history and an introduction that invites readers to imagine their own poems from unusual perspectives.

These were pretty cool. There were two poems per fairytale, sometimes from different characters in that story. Some were your typical ABAB poems, others were Haikus. The illustrations were amazing oil pastel depictions of the poem versions of the story.
This book is full of examples for kids learning poetry for the first time. CHildren could read the examples here and then write their own poems about whatever they want. Or, for more advanced students who have worked with poetry before, they could choose their favorite stories and write haikus about them.
