Read Around the World - Travel by Tale
Folktales is the umbrella term for all stories that were spoken aloud and passed down from generation to generation. Folktales are set in distinctive landscapes and inhabited by objects that reflect the values and cultures who are telling the stories. There are famous story collectors in folktale history such as Jakob and WIlhelm Grimm known as The Brothers Grimm from Germany, Peter Asbjørnsen and Jorgen Moe (known as Asbjørnsen and Moe), Charles Perrault from France, and Andrew Lang from Scotland. Folktales and fairy tales were never considered a literature for children. Their existence comes out of entertainment and as warnings for what to do or what not to do in society. As you f read folktales you will log the titles, country of origin and a short summary about the story into your passport.

Bluestem - Reader's Choice Illinois Award
Remember when you voted in the Monarch Award? Now its time to read books and make your voice heard with The Bluestem Award. In order to vote in the Bluestem Award you must have read at least 8 of the 20 books. Look for the specially marked books in the Indian Trail Library.
Big Bluestem, the Illinois state prairie grass, symbolizes the entire Bluestem Award and the variety of titles on the Master List each year. The deep roots of this dominant native grass of the tall grass prairie indicate the older titles with lasting appeal. New yearly growth relates to the newer titles chosen. Its changing colors are a reflection of the variety of literatures, and the three seed spikes represent the three grades of students for whom the program is intended: 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
