This hilarious split-page novelty book allows the reader to mix and match different combinations of fairy tales creating thousands of outlandish stories. Do you know the story of the ugly duckling who was bossed around by two horrid stepsisters and climbed a beanstalk at the top of which was a bowl of porridge? Or Snow White, who was laughed at by ducks and fell asleep in Baby Bear's bed after eating Little Red Riding Hood's granny? Illustrated by award-winner Nick Sharratt, this ingenious split-page book lets children create their own fractured fairy tales--and they may even find some surprisingly sensible ones along the way. Colorful, quirky, fun--a guaranteed giggle maker for kids and parents alike!
My six year old received this book this morning. She instantly loved it. She's not a fan of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, ... but was able to flip though and have them rubbing an old dusty lamp and getting a grumpy giant out and was giggling over the results of random flipping. Definitely bound to be a favorite. She's asked me if she can take it to school to show her teacher when she starts school next week.
A crowd pleaser!

This is a perfect book when you are stuck "waiting" in the car, docotr's, dentist's office. It is alot of fun for kids and adults to share especially if you know the "real" stories first! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
