Twister Tales is one of the books in the Phonics Comics series of books by Innovative Kids. Classic fariy tales are told in a hilariously twisted style. Alternative endings and explainations to popular tales are mentioned in this book.

In this book the fables- Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Billy Goats were retold.

Did you know that

The old women who lived in the house made of candy wasn’t actually a witch?

The Big Bad Wolf was not actually the bad guy but the babysitter instead!!

There was no troll but a toll collector at the bridge.

The colourful comics and catchy captions made it a very easy read. The students in my class enjoyed the story as I read it out to them during one of the storytelling sessions we had. They listened attentively to the whole story ( which is quite unusual for a class of very hyperactive kids).

I highly recommend this series of books for young readers to introduce them to the concept of alterntative endings.

Today is the day that I turn 31. A year ago when I entered into my 30s it felt as if I have aged rapidly as the numbers change from “2” to “3”. This year however as the digits add on it feels much different to me.

I no longer feel that age is working as a disadvantage against me but is driving me to be more motivated and determined to see that I complete all projects and assignments that I have assigned to myself this year.

To really put my thoughts into action I will be listing down the projects which I have at hand

Teaching the boys Japanese- target is to get Ryan writing simple Japanese by the end of the year.
Getting Roy fully potty trained ( Daytime) by the time he is 3yrs old (December)
Completing and launching my book on “Multilingual Parenting”
Growing my Membership site- Savy Hip ParentPreneur
Completing all scheduled 1-1 projects with existing clients.
Improving my baking/cooking skills.
Improving my relationships with family, friends and clients.
