Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretel written by The Brothers Grimm was a dark, slightly creepy, story about a young boy and girl that are left to fend for themselves as their parents are starving for food. Those familiar with this story know of how the boy and girl are lured into a candy-coated witch’s home. Hansel is fattened up by the old witch while Gretel is her servant. When the witch tries to cook Hansel, Gretel shoves her into the oven and locks the door. Then boy and the girl live happily ever after in an edible house of candy.

This book would not necessarily be good for any classroom, but a great bedtime story book for parents to read to their children at nighttime. I personally really enjoyed this book as I was told this story lots at night by my grandma.
