Picture Book Adaptation Options
I'm currently looking at three books by David Gordon: The Three Little Rigs, The Ugly Truckling, and Hansel and Diesel. As you might guess from the titles, these three books are takes on the classic fairy tales, albeit from a vehicular perspective. I am thinking that it might be nice to take one of these books (which would all lend themselves beautifully to working with props such as toy cars/trucks/planes) and pairing it with one or two other off-the-wall takes on classic fairy tales. I'd obviously want to pick a version of a story that is well known to the audience of children, so that they could "get" the joke. I might even try to make something up myself, if I can get my creative juices flowing properly!
