Synopsis
The entire book, with its unconventional page arrangement and eclectic, frenetic mix of text and pictures, is a spoof on the art of book design and the art of the fairy tale. The individual tales, such as The Really Ugly Duckling and Little 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, A Caledecott Honor Book A New York Times Best Illustrated Book This award-winning picture book is a wild, irreverent collection of reimagined fairy tales from the author and illustrator of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! . Makes for an extremely fun and funny read-aloud for the whole family. A long time ago, people used to tell magical stories of wonder and enchantment. Those stories were called Fairy Tales. Those stories are not in this book. The stories in this book are Fairly Stupid Tales. In this fourth wall-breaking picture book, young readers will delight in the strange twists on familiar tales. From "The Stinky Cheese Man" to "Cinderummpelstiltskin" these unique, hilarious retellings poke fun at classic stories and characters. The wonderfully offbeat and bizarre illustrations, as well as innovative play with typography and book design, make for a one-of-kind masterpiece from two powerhouse children's book creators. Story List: · Chicken Licken · The Princess and the Bowling Ball · The Really Ugly Duckling · The Other Frog Prince · Little Red Running Shorts · Jack's Bean Problem (including Giant Story / Jack's Story) · Cinderummpelstiltskin (Or The Girl Who Really Blew It) · The Tortoise and the Hair · The Stinky Cheese Man

    Super Fast Shipping! Other than a little sticker damage the book was as described, new and pristine. Triple A plus! Given the opportunity I will buy again. *** Buyers on eBay; the seller should not be held responsible for USPS issues. Lately they've been slow as heck, and irresponsible. *** I ordered something and it took 21 day to arrive, when I received the item was missing and I got half a box.

    As great as I remembered!

    I first came across this book as a library page in the early 1990's. One of my counterparts mentioned how hilarious this book was, and it was! I think I read it every time it hit the "put away bin," which was often. Now that I have young children of my own some 30 (!) years later, this title popped into my head one night at bedtime, so I had to order 2. This book did not disappoint! The illustrations and text are vivid and wildly creative, and the author turns otherwise standard fairly tales into their own unique stories with unpredictable results. The effect is hilarious and fun. Plus, who can resist smiling when saying the title story, "the Stinky Cheese Man?" I'm smiling as I write it!

  • Blast From Past! Love it

    After stumbling across this old book I vaguely remembered when I was a kid, I went ahead and bought it and I quickly remembered how dum and funny this book was when I used to check it out from my school library. Great kids book. Super nostalgic. 10/10
