Jane Breskin Zalben (2005) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Emilie Chollat
Audience: Preschool, Primary (k-3rd grade)
Category: Folklore, NCCBA, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


The story begins with the famous Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe feeling like her home is too small for her family. So Mama Goose (a real estate agent) tells her about a vacancy in Snow White’s old home. Readers are then taken on an adventure to see where characters like Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, and Jack and Jill move to when they think something is wrong with their homes. Find out what happens when the Old Woman and her children get homesick. Chollat’s illustrations jump off the page and are full of bright colors. Children will enjoy looking back at the pages of this rhyming book and pointing out fun details.
