With the holidays over, I finally had time to pull out my couple of JK Rowling’s latest creation, the Tales of Beedle the Bard. I have to admit that I found it delightful and witty! When I was a child, one of my favorite read-aloud books were the Tales of the Brother’s Grimm. So many children I meet today have never listened to the classic fairy tales and have never the richness that fairy tales can bring. In Tales of Beedle the Bard, Rowling has blended the richness of the Brother’s Grimm with the wisdom of Aesop’s fables to create another unique winner. While it probably won’t make her the kind of money that the Harry Potter series has done, this book is definitely worth a few pleasurable hours and most definitely a book to share with elementary students!
