(  ) divaqueen456 | Mar 11, 2009 | Very cute lighthearted retellings of fairy tales casting animals as the main characters - CinderElephant, Rumpled Snake Skin, Little Red Robin Hood, etc. - and moving them to some slightly more modern milleus (for instance, the gold being spun by Rumpled Snake Skin is to fund endless re-shoots of a trashy horror movie). Cute and appealing enough for kids (although not little kids - some big vocab) but with a healthy dose of snarky humor for grownups who like their fairy tales just a little bit bent.

| Descrição do livro |
|
Who better to wreak havoc with eight beloved fairytales than Gregory Maguire, the brilliantly funny author of the adult novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, as well as of the hilarious middle–grade series, The Hamlet Chronicles.
Zany animals of all species run through these fractured tales with alarming speed and dexterity. Who would have thought that Sleeping Beauty, that most regal of all fairy– tales, could be twisted into the story of a frog with a most unusual and promising dance career? Get ready to meet a gorilla queen and a psycho chimp, seven giant giraffes; and one very bad walrus.
Ages 8–12
