For point of view, text sets are a must! When doing fairy tales, here is a start to my set:

 Believe Me, Goldilocks Rocks! The Story of the Three Bears as Told by Baby Bear by Nancy Loewen

 Dear Peter Rabbit by Alma Flor Ada

 Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems

 Honestly, Red Riding Hood Was Rotten! The Story of Little Red Riding Hood as Told by the Wolf by Trisha Speed Shaskan

 Mind Your Manners, B.B. Wolf by Judy Sierra

 No Lie, I Acted Like a Beast! The Story of Beauty and the Beast as Told by the Beast by Nancy Loewen

 Read-to-Me Book of Fairy Tales by Michael Hague

 Seriously, Cinderella Is So Annoying! The Story of Cinderella as Told by the Wicked Stepmother by Trisha Speed Shaskan

 The Three Little Pigs and the Somewhat Bad Wolf by Mark Teague

Looking for chapter books with a focus on fairy tales? Here are a few that my students love:

 Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu

 Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

 Ever After High Series by Shannon Hale

 Reckless by Cornelia Funke

 Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin by Liesl Shurtliff

 The Sisters Grimm: The Fairy Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley

Two novels that are phenomenal for teaching point of view:

 Wonder by R. J. PalacioWithout giving too much away, the story revolves around August Pullman, a boy with such severe physical disabilities that he’s never been to school. We meet him at the outset of the story and we know he is horribly disfigured; however, we don’t know why or what he looks like, as he is the one telling the story. As the story unfolds, different characters tell the story and fill in the holes and answer our questions. Each character has his or her own point of view. One of the most powerful books I’ve read—and a must read every year. Palacio has written a follow-up, The Julian Chapter.

 Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob BuyeaAnother excellent example of multiple characters telling the story and giving their account of an accident that happens to their teacher. Each character has a distinct personality and a distinct voice.

Other books for point of view:

 Dear Mrs. LaRue Letters from Obedience School by Mark Teague

 Detective LaRue Letters from the Investigation by Mark Teague

 Encounter by Jane Yolen

 LaRue for Mayor by Mark Teague

 Nettie’s Trip South by Ann Turner

 One Green Apple by Eve Bunting

 The Other Side by Jacqueline Woodson

Books for persuasive and opinion writing:

 I Wanna New Room by Karen Kaufman OrloffThis is the book I would lead off with when doing an introduction to persuasion writing. While it is also a primary book, it is funny and engaging and full of voice. And if students have heard it before, they never get tired of it! Alex wants a room separate from his brother, so he writes to his parents about his reasons. They respond. Easy for students to understand the concept (and the idea of supporting your opinion with reasons).

And here are a few others to start you with persuasive and opinion writing:

 Earrings! by Judith Viorst

 Have I Got a Book for You! by Melanie Watt

 It’s Hard to Be a Verb! by Julia Cook

 The Promise by Nicola Davies

 Warp Speed by Lisa Yee

Reader’s Theater:

 Another Point of View: Readers Theater Fairy Tales and Activities by Nancy Polette

 Cinderella Outgrows the Glass Slipper and Other Zany Fractured Fairy Tale Plays by Joan M. Wolf

 12 Fabulously Funny Fairy Tale Plays: Humorous Takes on Favorite Tales That Boost Reading Skills, Build Fluency & Keep Your Class Chuckling with Lots of Read Aloud Fun! by Just McCory Martin
