Description

“Someone’s going into Grandma’s cottage. Someone hears a trip-trapping over his head. Someone is climbing up a giant beanstalk… Who Is It?”

In veteran children’s book author Sally Grindley’s rollicking new book for children, familiar fairy tales (“Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “The Three Billy Goats Gruff,” and “Little Red Riding Hood”) are presented in an exciting and fresh manner that will delight and entertain young children.

Children’s excitement will mount as they recognize elements of well-known stories (Someone is eating Mr. Bear’s porridge. Someone is sitting in Mrs. Bear’s chair. Someone is sleeping in Baby Bear’s bed.) throughout the text and are asked to answer the question…Who Is It? Youngsters will happily shout out who each character is and warn those characters about who is coming to get them!

Rosalind Beardshaw’s bright, bold colors and gentle, friendly depictions will reassure young readers. Featuring well-loved fairy tale characters and a surprise ending, this is the perfect interactive read-aloud story young children will ask for again and again.
