    About the Books

    This inventive pair of picture books proves that it’s a small world, even for favorite storybook characters. Told entirely in letters written back and forth by such notables as Peter Rabbit, Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood, and Pig One (of the Three Little Pigs)—as well as, unfortunately, two ravenous wolves—each book interweaves characters from four familiar tales to create an all-new adventure filled with wry surprises and delicious wit. “Children will be enchanted,” wroteSchool Library Journalin its starred review ofDear Peter Rabbit. “An inviting fairy-tale world,”Kirkusagreed, “with entrancing, delicately cross-hatched detail.”

    Discussion Topics

    • Be sure your students are familiar with the original tales that inspiredDear Peter RabbitandYours Truly, Goldilocks: The Three Little Pigs, Beatrix Potter’s Rabbit stories,Goldilocks and the Three Bears, andLittle Red Riding Hood. Try to share several versions of each story and encourage the children to identify and discuss differences. Do they have a favorite version? Why?

    • What makes a good friend? Discuss the ways that these characters help each other out in times of trouble. Have your students ever helped a friend? Have they ever been helped by one? Encourage them to share their own experiences.

    • Brainstorm about fanciful party guests. Ask your students to name favorite characters—from these books as well as others—that they would want to invite to their birthday party.

    • Many of the storybook characters are confused by the term “housewarming.” Discuss what it means with your students. What do they think are appropriate gifts for a real life housewarming party?
