Fables- 1981 Caldecott Winner

Fables proved to be a very interesting read. It is a collection of short stories that each have their own message. Although the messages are great life-lessons to know, they are not anything that a child would be interested in. Many of them are too complex or worded in a way that kids would not understand. I think that this book might be okay for 4th or 5th graders if the teacher just picked a select few stories out of it to read to them. A couple of the stories contain valuable lessons for the students to know and state them in a way that they might be able to understand as long as the teacher discussed them with the students. I even found a few of the stories to be weird and make no sense, so the teacher needs to make sure that he or she is picky in choosing what stories to have the students read.
