This short English fairy tale is loved by my upper level special education students. The familiar text, great story make it appealing to them. I have used this as a reader's theater to help with fluency.

I wasn't familiar with the tale or other versions of it, so can't compare it that way.

But, for my beginning-reader daughter this was an awesome book. Almost every line has the "teeny-tiny" phrase surrounded by simple words in it. The reader focuses on the easy words in each line, but the repetitious, longer phrase makes for nice and flowing progress. They end up reading text that's more satisfying than "see Spot run".

I would often read this book to my son and daughter when they were young. The Teeny-Tiny Woman It was one of their favorites and has long since been given away. I came across it at Amazon and decided to purchase a copy for my library. It brought smiles to my children's faces when they saw it.

This has to be one of the cutest, most charming ghost stories to pop up... ever. The mystery remains of just why there is a creepy voice asking about a bone (heck, why did this woman take a bone in the first place?) but that's half the fun.
