What's the first fairy tale you remember hearing or reading? Maybe it was a movie or a DVD?

Tuesday February 26th is tell a fairy tale day. Why not take a classic story and put your own touches to it, like Marissa Meyer did in her book Cinder?

There is a collection of fairy tales here if you want to get started:

The World of Tales

This site says, "The fairy tale has its roots way back in ancient times. A very significant literature genre, fairy tales are present in all cultures worldwide."

If you don't feel like telling or writing a fairy tale on Tuesday, why not read one, for old time's sake?

Jill Corcoran, agent and publicist, has a new competition happening for students in grades 3 to 8 and you can read about it here:

Dare to Dream Writing Contest for Kids

It closes April 30, 2013 so there's lots of time to polish your entry.
