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 âThe Stinky Cheese Manâ to âCinderummpelstiltskinâ 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 childrenâs 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 - Random House, Inc.
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!
