Fairytales and Folktales

[Kathryn Reynolds]

Hello,

I am trying to create a literacy activity by using folktales or 
fairytales. I would like to use two books: either a new and older version 
of a fairytale (such as the Little Red Hen and the Little Red Hen Makes a 
Pizza); or a traditional fairytale and its counterpart from a different 
culture (such as Little Red Riding Hood and Lon Po Po). Unfortunately I am 
having trouble finding examples other than the two above. Does anyone have 
any titles of modernized folktales or folktales from other cultures that 
they could share? Perhaps someone knows a good website to find our more?
