My students adore using this during their fairytale unit and they use it heavily. I just wish there were more characters from other fairytales like the wolf (from Little Red Riding Hood and 3 Pigs), Little Red, the pigs, Golidlocks, the bears, Jack and the Beanstalk, the giant, puss in boots, hansel and gretel etc.
