Ok, we admit it. A chance to examine our favorite fairy tale characters a little more closely and learn more about them then we have ever known before is just too much to resist! For this reason, we cannot help but feature the book Previously, by Allan Ahlberg.
Every story, every person, and every thing started somewhere, and now in this inventive and whimsical book, you can explore what all of your favorite storybook characters were up to “previously.” Goldilocks arrives home "all bothered and hot." Why? Because previously she had run through the forest, having climbed out of somebody's window in the wake of being caught sleeping in someone's bed, etc. Even before that, she had bumped into a lad named Jack with a hen under his arm . . . and so on, through Jack and Jill, the Frog Prince, Cinderella and others-and yet further back, to when all the characters were babies and, even further, the dark woods were seedlings "in the sun and the wind and the rain / under the endless sky, once upon a time. Previously."
This engaging story will certainly capture the hearts of children and adults alike. It could even stir up some conversation as you discuss what happened “previously” with your child!
