Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Wonderfully quirky, this book breathes new life into staid children's stories. In these irreverent variations on well-known themes, the ugly duckling grows up to be an ugly duck, and the princess who kisses the frog wins only a mouthful of amphibian slime.

Review:

"The collaborators' hijinks are evident in every aspect of the book, from endpapers to copyright notice." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"Clearly, it is necessary to be familiar with the original folktales to understand the humor of these versions. Those in the know will laugh out loud." School Library Journal

Review:

"Another masterpiece from the team that created The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!" Hornbook Guide to Children

Synopsis:

Looks at some really stupid tales including "Chicken Licken", "The Princess and the Bowling Ball", "The Really Ugly Duckling" and "Jack's Bean Problem".
