We have read a whole bunch of books lately by a very fun author and illustrator, William Steig.
We had been reading fairy tales, including many versions of Cinderella, Rumplestilskin, and Little Red Riding Hood, when we read our first William Steig book, Shrek. We realized that many of his stories have similar themes as fairy tales.
One of our favorite things about William Steig is that he always chose amazing words. Shrek was not just ugly, he was repulsive. We like to ask each other, "What word would William Steig use?"
At the end of our author study unit, we made a video of what is similar about many of William Steig's books.
