How this will be used in the curriculum
This book is a fantasy. I would use this book in my classroom as a way to allow students to use their own imagination. In language arts, I would have students create there own short fairy tail. This would allow students to be engaged because they can write about what intrests them as well as build upon their knowlege of story structure.
