Summary: A Collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales

Strengths: Their are clever names used throughout the tale. It is also easily readable and able to be understood. This story possesses similar characteristics of the movie/show Tom and Jerry which makes me want to believe their is some connection that lies there.

Concerns: The ending of this tale is violent which is not suitable for young readers in many aspects.

Age level: Upper (5-6)

Classroom Use: Teaches the act of greediness and deception. This is a great tale to teach children not to act this way. Always choose your friends wisely.
