We Fancy The Teeny Tiny Woman

We were given an old bag of books from a neighbor and this one happened to be in there. I realized the author, Jane O'Connor, was the same as our favorite Fancy Nancy Series. There is nothing fancy about this book, but my kids fancy reading it. It's a simple and fun anytime read that is quite frequently off the shelf at our house! Mommy's High Heel Shoes

My first book ever

This was the first book I ever read, way back in preschool. I still remember it vividly. It's simple and charming, and I was so proud of reading it. I even have a tape of myself reading it, and did a puppet show of the story for my kindergarten talent show. It's a teeny tiny bit scary, but it was perfect for me when I was little.

Kiddie macabre

My first thought on this story: This is supposed to be a children's story? I read it to my students and was utterly freaked out, probably more than the kids. But even so, one can't help but admire someone that is brave enough to put so much classy old-school into this kind of kiddie book, complete with the bones, cannibalism, and magic. Can anyone say Grimm? Fortunately, our hero is a spunky little guy ready to outsmart an evil witch who wants to eat kids. Even if it's scary, it's a great little fairy tale-esque story.

Outstanding !!!!!

This is the cutest book I have ever read to my grandchildren and now I am reading it to my great-grand-children, they love the repetitiveness of the words and soon they are reading most of the words in this delightful book!!! The Teeny Tiny Woman

A great beginning reader book.

This is a story of a teeny tiny woman who finds a bone to make some soup. She is haunted by a ghost who wants the bone back. This is a great book for a child learning to read. This is my daughter's favorite Step into Reading book.
