Imagine a comic retelling of some of our best-loved fairy tales. In this collection readers encounter "Cinderumpelstiltskin," "Little Red Running Shorts," and "The Princess and the Bowling Ball," to name a few. In these slapstick, satirical stories told by Jack, the sarcastic narrator, the ugly duckling grows up to be ugly, Cinderella rejects Rumplestiltskin, the princess gets a mouth full of slime after kissing a frog, and the giant and Little Red Hen share goodies at the top of the beanstalk!
This weird and silly retelling of some classic fairy tales, together with an outlandish book design, is sure to keep readers on their toes. Quirky and bursting with creativity - a Caldecott Honor Book too. Have fun!
