Tammy Johnson's Quince and the Three Witches, a refreshing and creative adaptation of a beloved classic, is sure to delight children, parents and teachers.
Palm Beach, FL (PRWeb) January 20, 2007 -- Elementary reading teacher Tammy Johnson's Quince and the Three Witches is a refreshing and creative fairy-tale designed to encourage literacy and stimulate every child's imagination.In this variation on Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Quince is a curious boy who discovers a castle hidden deep in a forest. Unaware that its inhabitants are three witches, the lad walks right in and makes himself at home. The brew in the three sizes of bowls is disgusting, the three chairs in the library are unusable, and the three beds are anything but enticing. Before Quince can do a thorough search, however, the witches return and he runs for his life.
What makes this story unique? Foremost is its simple structure, which can be found in the classic literary technique of repetition. There is also a cadence to the writing that draws children in, like so many classic nursery rhymes that are repeated through the ages. The author has employed the best tools available to reading teachers and has created a story that stresses enjoyment and increased reading comprehension.
Whether a child is learning to read or is an eager listener, Quince and the Three Witches will delight as well as teach.
