This ‘tongue-in-cheek’ traditional tale may have been invented when belief in giants (and unicorns, omitted from this brief retelling) had begun to fade. Set in Europe, circa 1550-1600. Turquoise level titles develop children’s understanding of topics with clusters of books on related subjects. High-interest themes such as danger, courage, kindness, bullying and anger are introduced. Available for Levels 15-24, PM Traditional Tales and Plays retell classic tales in a simplified language and form that children can understand. Teachers use the tales in guided reading sessions and children can later read them with confidence and understanding. Parts are colour-coded for easy recognition. #pm19-offer
