This is a book filled with many different stories by The Grimm Brothers. This would be an excellent book for older students who are looking at myths, folktales, and short stories.

Hm. I thought I would like this book, but realized it wasn't doing it for me when I kept making up reasons why I should read my other book instead. I think that I was a little disappointed by the ho-hum endings of some of these stories. I will stick to Adam Gidwitz's take on these yarns.

Things that Grimm's has taught me:- If you do not have a suitable insult for someone, "simpleton" will work in any situation. And "dandyprat" - it's amazing.- If your kid is a bit thick, nicknaming them "dummling" will really help their self-esteem.- No story is complete without a king showing up a...
