Storybook Favorites

The first storybook that I have chosen to look at was The Fairy Godmother Union Strike. I chose this one first because the title caught my interest. I love fairytales. They have always been a favorite of my so I thought that it sounding good. I think it does a good job on the introduction and it really made me want to read more of it. It is a very creative idea and I liked being able to look at the fairytales that show what would have happened if the fairies did not intervene for the princesses. I also really liked the design of the page.

I choose this image because it was on the cover of The Fairy Godmother Union Strike and I feel like the expression on her face matches perfectly with the plot of the story.

The next storybook that I looked at was The Princess Constellations. I was drawn to this for many reasons. One reason is that I love reading about princesses. The main reason is definitely the cover though. It has this beautiful image of a woman. It definitely caught my attention. I liked how the stars were watching over the princesses. I think that was an interesting topic.

The last storybook that I looked at was Fairytale Case Files. Obviously this goes with my love of fairytales. The name was the original reason that I decided to look over it. I like fairytales and I like mysteries so it seemed like this was a good combination to look at. Its a detective who works for the fairytale kingdom. I like that instead of using fairy godmothers to create the happy ever after, this storybook used a detective. It is such a cool twist to what you originally think fairytales should consist of.

I loved the creativity that went into these storybooks. It took fairytales and created this amazing twist. It told stories from a unique perspective. It made me want to read the entire storybooks.
