The Brave Little Tailor

This is the most famous version of "The Brave Little Tailor." Although there are many countries around the world that have their own little tailor, his role stays the same. He is a cultural hero. For example, here in the states, he lived the American dream. In the story, the little tailor, let's name him Bob, killed seven flies at once. He embroidered his great defeat on his girdle and people made assumptions that it was seven men, not flies. Throughout the story, Bob used his intellect and great use of trickery to receive half of unknown land and the always beautiful princess.This is an awesome book for children to read. It could teach them that they don't have to be poor all of their lives. Yes, kids won't get the chance to trick a unicorn, a wild boar, and 3 dumb giants to get rich, but this story explains that using the ole noggin can get you places, just like Bob.
