Where are you located, it could turn into quite the tourist attraction. (Kimy had me laughing too.) <BR/><BR/>JT - The ideas for JT-TV just keep coming! I love the visual image of the candy house from Hansel and Gretel and that this story also gave us the 'leaving a trail of bread crumbs' idea but, that is really an awful story. My favorite version of this one is the Little Critter's Hansel and Gretel by Mercer Mayer. It is a lift-the-flap book which always goes over big with me. <BR/><BR/>Joy - OH! THAT Muffin Man. Okay, I am going to change the subject because I don't think this one lives on Drury Lane. <BR/><BR/>Scot (Not Scott) - Thanks for dropping by. I do not think that there is a fox (or a fax, lol) in The Little Red Hen but it is another great story of payback! In my experience The Little Red Hen is most confused with Henny Penny. It happens again and again. If this wasn't my life (for better or worse) I am sure I would confuse more than those stories. They all have so much in common -- those poor children always in the path of danger. <BR/><BR/>BTW - I love the falling 'T' on your banner. <BR/><BR/>JDZS - You may be hungry but if I know you at all I know that you have the will power to fight back the craving. 40 is approaching!<BR/><BR/>Lettuce - Well, since the public is crying out for a Little Red Riding Hood post I will give in to the demand and get to work. ;)<BR/>But seriously, I love to compare all of these stories that have hung around forever. Your class sounds interesting.<BR/><BR/>I am not familiar with Baby Yaga but after doing some research I read a description of one that seems somewhat familiar. I could not find a Baby Yaga however that was linked to Susan Price. If you find out more information please pass it along.

Don't know the Ahlberg one but i must look it out, i like the look of it.<BR/><BR/>Its true what you say about the original bad boy, i'd never thought about it. You are cuter though. Your gingerbread man hunt sounds great, what a brilliant idea.<BR/><BR/><BR/>do do do do a post on little red riding hood. I do some stuff on that with undergrads (Angela CArter and all that) but kids versions are probably even more fun.<BR/><BR/>what about baba yaga? shes one of my faves.
