The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales

by Jon Scieszka

The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The entire book, with its unconventional page arrangement and eclectic, frenetic mix of text and picures, is a spoof on the art of book design and the art of the fairy tale. The individual tales, such as he Really Ugly Ducklingand ittle Red Running Shorts,can be extracted for telling aloud, with great success. Another masterpiece from the team that created The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!

-Horn Book

Synopsis:

The author of "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" provides a riotous romp through fairy-tale-land that will have readers clutching their sides happily ever after. Full-color oil paintings.
