Brothers Grimm

Right now I'm sitting in the sofa and reading some of the Brothers Grimm stories until tomorrows classes in Children's Literature level 1.

Which of the Brothers Grimm stories are you're favorite?

A re-written classic

Genre:	Comic, Classic
Publication.Date	October, 03, 2012
Pages:	100
Published By:	Dark Horse Comics
Website	Rod Espinosa A Christmas Carol - Goodreads
My review copy:	ARC received from the puvhlisher through NetGalley for a honest review

Charles Dickens’s holiday classic, A Christmas Carol, is given a fresh twist—with a female Scrooge! Rod Espinosa (The Courageous Princess) adapts and illustrates this story of the miserly Eliza Scrooge, who is visited by the ghosts of the past, present, and future on one fateful Christmas eve.

* This hardcover volume makes a perfect gift for the coming season!

This is a classic saga that many children had heard but in this version the main character is not a man instead it is a woman.

Since I only know this saga from the movies (shame on me I know) I have to say it is a real good one and I loved it.

The fact that is made as a serie album makes it more fun to read and easier for childrens to read it too since there is plenty of illustrations.

My thoughts on this good and classical story is following:

• It is good written and good illustrations
• I love the re-writing that they used a auntie instead of a uncle like in the "real" story 
• That it makes you want to read the whole thing 
• The fact that is in modern English makes it easier to understand
• And also I like that we get to see how the auntie changes her mind and becomes a really nice lady and no longer is mean to the people.

I think everyone should read this one even though you may already have read the new one because you will not regret it.

 This version will get a 5 out of 5 because it is worth it:) 

Top Ten Tuesday - Books that makes you think

This will be my first time doing a so called TTT and this weeks topic is Books that makes you think.
So here is the top ten list of books that makes me think about the world, life, people and etc:

1. 
This book makes me think about how awful life can be if you are born in a family that includes a mother that shouldn't have had any children by the way she had threatend Dave and his siblings.

2. 
The reason I took this one is because we people are very good to judge people by what they are doing for a living or for their lifestyle.
Yes, Jenna Jameson is a porn star but she had an awful background in how she got in the showbiz and after I read this one I was chocked and I acctually loved this book.

3. 
This one is a book that made me think about how people can do things like kidnap a little girl and lock her in but it also made me think about how strong miss Kampusch has gotten after the abduction.

4.
I remember I loved this movie very much but I did always asked myself how can people be so mean to other people just because they don't have a lot of money and also how you can put a child in work at that low age.
Yes, I know it was that way ages ago but even there are still poor children that get so called slaveworks just because they need the money.

5. 
When it comes to the books about Harry Potter that makes me think about how awesome and fun it would have been if life sometimes could be like in Harry Potter's world without the horrible accidents and without you know who.
Wouldn't you guys like if life sometimes could be like in this character world?

6. 
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks is a romantic book and movie that I really admire.
This book makes me think about life when I get older since I too want to die old with the person I love and have it like the old couple have it without the alzheimer.

7. 
This one makes me think about life and chooses we have to make.

8. 
Big Brother is watching us all and so is it in this book too.

9.
This is a great story that make us see how people can change and what stupid mistakes some of us can choose 'cause what is the meaning of living a life looking beautiful and not age when the person you love will change and grow old or when the people that is in your life gets old and dies?

10. 
This makes me think about how greedy we people can get sometimes.

What books can I find at your list?
