Storybook Favorites

Below are a list of three of my favorite storybooks from past semesters as well as a little recap for each one. Enjoy!

Urban Legends of Texas (https://sites.google.com/view/urban-legends-of-texas/home)

    This Storybook is about different urban legends that took place in Texas. This storybook has a very good introduction that gives a good overview of each story that they are going to talk about. They cover three different stories: The Donkey Lady, Woman Hollering Creek, and a Ghost Near White Rock Lake. They then have three different pages on their website that retells the stories with their own twist.

The Greatest Trickster (https://sites.google.com/view/a-clash-of-tricksters/the-fox)

    This Storybook is a little bit different in that it does not have an introduction that explains what the whole storybook is going to be about. It rather jumps right into a story about a fox that is the beginning of the story called The Greatest Trickster. The next page on the website is a story about a rabbit that the author wrote by mixing two Brer Rabbit stories together. The next page is about the Tanuki which is the trickster of Japan. The author was very creative in intertwining multiple stories to create the "world tour of tricksters" as they call it. 

A Whole New World (https://sites.google.com/view/a-whole-new-world/introduction)

    This Storybook is about Aladdin but with its own twist. Aladdin's princess comes from a poor family and she ends up showing Aladdin a "Whole New World". He also introduces a trickster that is trying to break apart his relationship with the princess. The next pages are all about this author's Aladdin story and the different twists and turns. They do a very good job of almost just completely making up their own story. I can definitely learn from this and get as creative as possible with my storybook.
