This book was very good. They had about 10 different folklores and fairytales in this one book. The style of the writing was descriptive and some of the pictures told the story also. Some of the stories used old formal language to keep with the tradition of the time frame. Some of the stories told in this book I never heard before, so it was very interesting to me. (

A collection of retellings of folk tales and fairy tales in graphic novel form by a bunch of illustrators, including Art Spiegelman, David Macaulay, Barbara McClintock, Walt Kelly, William Joyce. There's also a board game with pieces that punch out and instructions. Contributor notes give brief biographies of the authors/artists.

A bit of fun for all ages, Little Lit is the graphic retelling of some of the more bizarre folk tales. A truly balanced short-story collection, the varying art styles were just as interesting as the stories themselves.

Little Lit introduces children to the flow and art of comic books and graphic novels, as well as makes old and new fables and fairy tales efficient and accessible. Excellent for one-on-reading or as a supplement to a unit on fairy or folk tales, fables, and short stories from around the world. Children will be inspired to illustrate in cartoon style their own stories, or their favorite stories.
