Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-14 00:00:00 Edward Auzin Grade/interest level: Primary (K-2nd) Reading level: I could not find it for this book, but I do know that this is not meant to be read independently but rather read aloud to the class Genre: Traditional literature Silly & Sillier is a compilation of folktales from around the world from twenty different cultures. Each story is popular tale from a specific country and contains a funny twist to suit the attention of younger readers. A few of the stories include familiar themes that have been heard of here in America like "The Three Little Pigs". The book is filled with talking animals and silly monsters that will surely capture the hearts of young readers! I would love to use this book in my classroom to expose my students to stories from different cultures. The students can compare and contrast these tales to ones from America and even from their own cultures. I believe this is a great segue to begin talking about my students' cultures and incorporating them in the classroom.
