I am not sure this was the best version of this fairy tale that is available however this story is great for the teaching of two morals. First, it shows that it is important to be kind and share, even if you do not have a lot to give, as good things will come from it. Secondly, this story teaches that it is important to listen and ask for help when you aren't sure. If the little girl's mother has listened, or asked for help, the pot would not have overflown. Overall, I think it is engaging and comical story that would be very helpful in teaching these morals. This book could be paired with other Brothers Grimm texts and other fairy tales for a genre study. It could also be paired with other books with strong morals as a sort of text-set on morals.
