Picture Book: Fairy Tale Day

Today is National Tell a Fairy Tale Day.

Here are a few new to the library fairy tales

A Taste of Honey is an Indian folk tale about a girl named Kamala who makes honey. Business is slow. She asks the King for help. He gives her a plot of land for crops, but the lot isn't ready for planting. She uses her wits to create a better scenario for herself and her family. 

A Filipino folk tale about a woman who eats ALL the leftovers from children. Especially the yucky things. Then she sees them at a birthday party - there's not a crumb leftover. She wants to eat ALL the things, so she does. But then things happen and the children have to eat everything on their own plate.

* On a personal note, I could have used Dona Esmerelda. I hated cooked vegetables; they were the plaque of my existence. 

Princess Charming isn't sure what her "thing" is. She can't seem to figure out what she's good at, but she's going to keep trying. 

The ending of the picture book is funny and very clever. 

Cinderelliot loves baking. The prince needs a new baker at the palace. But his stepsiblings want to take his items to the prince. Who is going to win the spot?

This is a great Cinderella story with dessert and a sweet ending!
