Drawing on the popularity of fairy-tale literature and its retellings, this guide provides insightful annotations to all the major picture books and novels for children and teens.Although popular fairy tales such as Cinderella are familiar, the broader genre of fairy-tale literature is less well known. This genre includes traditional fairy tales (often compiled in book collections), picture-book retellings of single fairy tales, fractured fairy tales, and fairy-tale-inspired novels for both children and teens.Designed to help librarians, teachers, and reading partners feel more confident in selecting and suggesting fairy-tale books for children and teens, this comprehensive guide offers themes, read-alikes, reading levels, awards, and curricular tie-ins for each book. Readers will learn about the distinguishing characteristics of fairy tales, key authors (contemporary and historical), major trends, and significant changes in the genre. They will also discover the therapeutic power of fairy tales, their empowering impact on children and teens, and the reasons that fairy tales continue to attract young readers. Insightful and engaging annotations of each book will increase their knowledge of the riches of the genre.
