This story is the tale of a frog who proposes to a mouse. When the mouse receives permission from her uncle rat, preparations for the wedding are begun. The story introduces a variety of insects and animals who come to the wedding, each with a different function.  The moth spreads the table cloth on the table, a black bug brings a cider jug, a bumble bee plays the banjo, a gray goose plays the fiddle. All is well until  an old tomcat comes and chases the wedding guests and the newly married couple. This book is good for a classroom because it can help students learn personification.

Peter wakes up and looks out the window, discovering that it snowed during the night. He puts on his red snowsuit (with the pointy hood) and runs outside to explore. Along the street, Peter finds snowbanks piled high. He crunches through the snow, pointing his feet out and then in to make interesting tracks. Peter drags his feet to make long tracks, and then he finds a stick to make a third track next to the two left by his dragging feet. Peter smacks a tree covered in snow and a bunch of snow falls on his head. He continues to explore and finds himself caught in the middle of a snowball fight. Peter thinks it would be fun to join the older boys in their snowball fight someday, but not quite yet. This would be useful to read in a classroom because many words are repeated and sounded out to help students learn how to read more words as well as know how to spell them.

There were two dogs that dug up a bone. They argued, and both thought the bone was theirs. To find out the owner of the bone, they decided to go ask everyone on the farm. They asked the farmer, and some of the animals with no luck. Everyone they asked did not care about the bone; they had better things to do. The dogs helped everyone they asked before they walked away. Eventually they asked a bigger dog, who asked to look at it. The dogs agreed and let him. The big dog tried to run away with their bone so they took it back. The two dogs agreed to share the bone after their run in with the big dog. They realized they should not be selfish.
This book could be useful if students are experiencing an issue with sharing. This story could teach them how to share.

A mother left her three little girls at home while she went to visit her grandmother, "Po Po", for her birthday. A wolf who lived nearby saw the mother leave and approached the door. He pretended to be the grandmother explaining that she and the mother must have missed each other along the way. The children let her in and eventually began noticing some of her strange features. The eldest figured out that she was actually the wolf and came up with a plan. She suggested that grandmother must be hungry so the girls would go pick ginko nuts and bring them back to her. When they did not return, the wolf left to find them in a tree. This would be a good story to read after reading the American version. The children can create charts and discuss comparisons as well as come up with their own versions of a red riding hood story to share with the class.

There was a Native American village girl who loved horses and understood them in a very special way. She was out one day with them in the meadows and fell asleep only to wake up to a terrible storm. The horses were running away very fast as she followed clinging onto her horse. When the storm stopped, so did the horses and they were lost. She fell asleep and when she awoke the next morning, a stallion was in front of her telling her that he was the leader of the wild horses and she could stay with them. This would be a great book for kids because the author uses constant personification. This could give young kids an introduction to figurative language.
