The Brothers Grimm

In bookweek we will study the folktales of Germany and Switzerland. I have found a great website for you to go and visit. I want you to read the story about the Brementown Musicians and the story about Faithful John. They are interractive and a lot of fun. Here is the link http://www.brementownmusicians.com/en/main
Another famous story from the Brothers Grimm is Cinderella. You will get a BIG surprise if you read this version. The step sisters actually CUT their feet so that they could fit them into the GOLDEN slipper. The link is here http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm021.html
