You read to me, I'll read to you : very short fairy tales to read together : in which wolves are tamed, trolls are transformed, and peas are triumphant / by Mary Ann Hoberman ; illustrated by Michael Emberly.
8 fairy tales are retold as very short rhyming stories with a twist at the end encouraging children to read together. Each story is told in two voices, with text in different colors for a pair of readers -- two children, or a child and a parent who is in a literacy program, or one beginning and one more-advanced reader.
