Folk Literature
Caldecott Honor
Paul Zelinsky brings this popular Grimm Brother's tale to life through his vivid illustrations. Rumpelstiltskin is a tale about a miller's daughter who is locked in a room spinning straw into gold for the king. A little man who is rather odd agrees to help the miller's daughter spin straw in exchange for her first-born child.
This tale would be great to use when introducing students to different types of literature. Rumpelstiltskin is a prime example of folk literature and would also be useful when discussing medieval times or alchemy.
