Forecasting a Grimm Summer

Kate and I went to see Snow White and the Huntsman the other night to start off our Grimm summer.  Tomorrow is the last day of school and, although the kids want to just relax, I know we will need some thread of structure to keep our brains from melting and, honestly, keep from driving each other nuts.  We began the Sisters Grimm book series a few summers ago and loved it.  And now there are so many more!  When I saw the Table of Contents in the new Sisters Grimm; A Very Grimm Guide, I knew I'd found our structure. 

The guide explains characters from the series which include:

Puck, (Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream)
Washington Irving (author of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle)
Mr. Seven (the seventh of the seven dwarves from Snow White)
Caspar Sheepshank (aka: Rumplestiltskin)
The Wizard of Oz
The Queen of Hearts
Lewis Carroll (author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)
Sheriff Nottingham (from Robin Hood)
The Jabberwocky (a creature from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass)
The Little Match Girl's matches
Merlin's Wand and Excalibur (from the stories of King Arthur)
Pinnochio
Aladdin's Flying Carpet

Talk about a list rich with possibilities!  Now, we may just read the Sisters Grimm.  But we also may read
the original books/stories these characters come from.  We may see movies (there are always many adaptations) or write new stories or make new movies, paintings, games...
I can't wait!
