Week 1: Storybook Favorites

Nursery Rhymes Gone Wrong
I thought that nursery rhymes gone wrong would be extremely interesting when I saw the title. When I entered the page though, I found the website to be very odd and almost creepy. I thought it was interesting to read though because the nursery rhymes were very familiar to me. I had heard them when I was a child and I was able to recognize them. I also found the story's new take on the rhymes to be very creative. I would have never thought to add my own twist to a nursery rhyme from when I was a child.

E! True Hollywood Story: Women of the Bible
The next storybook I chose to read was about the women in the bible. I picked this storybook because I am familiar with several of the women in the bible. I thought this storybook went into great detail about several women in the bible. My favorite was the story about Mary Magdalene. Even as a child I always found her story to be fascinating. I truly liked this site.

Mean Girls Morals
The last storybook I chose was the Mean Girls Morals. I think every girl can quote the entire Mean Girls movie. I know I can. Because of this, the storybook practically sang to me as I saw it on the list. I think this storybook is helpful because it takes pop culture and relates it back to lessons from Aesop's Fables. The storybook goes through each character and relates them to a fable. It is something that any Mean Girls fan can enjoy!

Overall, I liked all three of these storybooks and I think they're all great reads. They are all diverse in content, but something that I think anyone can relate to.
