More Tales from Grimm (Fesler-Lampert Minnesota… di Wanda Gag

This anthology is wonderful to use as a read-aloud with grades 2 and 3. Students listened and identified elements of the story such as good and bad characters, the setting, the magic elements, the conflict, resolution, and the moral of the tale. Some of the stories such as "The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage." made students laugh. The illustrations are beautiful and really enhance the stories.

Millions of Cats (Gift Edition) (Picture Puffin Books) di Wanda Gag

Lowkey funny at times and has a soothing little repeating phrase about the "hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats" that I think some readers will vibe with. The art is also nice in a stark, vintage-y way, and the cats look cute. But honestly the ending makes me sad and would have as a kid, too. :(
