Puss in Boots

Puss in Boots is part of the fairy tale collection „Three Fairy Tales Retold.“ The book is monolingual but can be ordered in various language combinations. This means that the modernized retellings can be ordered in a combination of German, English, French, and Spanish from bookstores or directly from the publisher. The retellings have been adapted for language acquisition and foreign language development.

Three Fairy Tales Retold

In this booklet, D.S. Felix retells three fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, choosing „Mother Holle,“ „Hans in Luck,“ and „Puss in Boots.“ The fairy tales have been translated into contemporary language. It is also available in several languages, German, English, French, and Spanish. A book for reading aloud and independent reading.

The fairy tales were created as part of the retellings, because, of course, fairy tales, like all classics, are literary works from the past and therefore sometimes difficult for readers to access. The author has shortened and updated some of the texts slightly, but without changing the meaning, so that the texts can be easily understood by young readers. Furthermore, the retellings are available in German, English, French, and Spanish from bookstores and the publisher. The language versions have been coordinated so that they can be read in parallel.
