What is it with all of the Simpsons family sheets and "Princess and the Pea" story readers? I don �t mean it as criticism, I �m just really curious why there �s such an abundance of those, at least since I �ve been around relatively recently! Gary |

My humble opinion:
Kids love the Simpsons. Using images kids can relate to, could be a way of holding on to their interest and concentration. Just a theory.
The Princess and the Pea is a classic fairy tale. There is a lot of repetition, easy vocabulary and most kids know the story. Also just a theory.

It �s not just kids who love the Simpsons!!
The best thing aboutt he Simpsons is that they help to overcome CULTURAL differences. They are one of the few truly universal pop-culture references to which all students can relate.
Plus they �re funny as hell, and laughter helps the learning process.
