Fairy Tales have withstood the test of time, as children love them. Yet, my Mother’s were not mine!

About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over forty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about. I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.

    What scared me as a kid were the German “Struwwelpeter” tales. They made Grimm seem like Disney!

    A great post. The original stories were quite violent but as you say, applicable to the times.

    Great post, Jennie. I must admit that I’m not too keen on some of those fairy stories but from a historical point of view, they are very valuable.
