I played around with looking up different countries Ireland, Spain,
Italy etc. and liked what I found so much came up with my Common Core lesson.

Put in Fairy Tales and found them right away. Andrew Lang is the author and there were four books. Violet, Blue, Yellow and Red.
Really liked the Most Relevant Pages Feature.
