Princess Rose and the Golden Bird

Princess Rose and the Golden Bird is a children's picture book written by Sergey Nikolav in 2010.  This particular children's book is composed in the form of an e book for readers as students can read this story on their iPad, computer, or even on a SmartBoard as a class activity.  Different from reading a paper text, e book's take some getting use to as the format is different for readers to view, however in the 21st century these versions of books are becoming more and more popular for readers. This story is unique as Sergey Nikolav both wrote and illustrated the book and the illustrations are extremely digital which varies from how most other children's picture books as they are printed.  Being my first e book, this modern fairy tale was rather hard for me to follow as I think I was simply adjusting to being exposed to text in a new manner, however the author bubbled the words so that readers could more easily identify the text on each page.  Particularly within my second grade class, this story would serve as an excellent integration into an ELA lesson as my students have been exploring the differences in fairy tales and fables. Another excellent resource present within this particular e book, is that it shows reader a ratio in regards to what page they are on and how close they are to completing the text. This story can either be read online or downloaded to more easily be read in a PDF file.
