Support those smaller publishers who do publish quality, and ask yourself what it is you want to accomplish over your 6 years of library time with the kids.
I wonder, as an addendum to this discussion, if folks could recommend great classic folktales you've read or shared, or new folktales you've seen in the past few years you'd like to call to our attention? I would be willing to make a list and share it. Also, any professional literature or online bibs of folktales or other traditional literature would be excellent.
Recently I've been sharing epic poetry with my 5th graders. We've talked about Beowulf and the Iliad. They've been really enthusiastic about legends since Percy Jackson came out and it was a natural connection.
