Mayer, M. (1980). East of the Sun & West of the Moon. New York: Four Winds Press.
East of the Sun & West of the Moon is written and illustrated by Mercer Mayer. In this classic fairy tale, the Moon, Father Forest, Great Fish of the Sea, and North Wind help a maiden rescue her true love from a troll princess in a faraway kingdom. This is an outstanding book to use when teaching a fairy tale unit in elementary of middle school. The illustrations are georgeous! This is a favorite of mine to share with the students.
Jarrell, R. (1972). Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux.
To many students, SnowWhite is a common story due to the Disney movie. I think it is great to share a book with them that will make the story more interesting and vivid. It gives them more space to use their imagination. The pictures in this book were done by Nancy Eckholm Burkert and they are really beautiful. I can remember looking at them constantly when I was younger. This book is also vital to a unit on fairy tales and really useful comparing it to movies they are familiar with as kids.
