The Little Mermaid by Rachel Isadora

4.0

I cannot read the Interrupting Chicken books to my students without first building their background knowledge and I cannot rely on their exposure to the Disney classics to get the story across. For those of you who have read the original, you know what I mean when I say I was grateful for this edition when I needed to read the story to my youngest students. I really think that the original Little Mermaid is a YA book - not a primary read. Even so, there were parts where I had to elaborate and parts where I had to gloss over. In the end the students loved sharing how the movie was different and they were especially eager when they learned I had not ever seen the movie version.
