Great Parodies of well known Fairy Tales
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I thought I've read every kinds of fairy tales rewrites out there, but boy I was wrong! I can't bring myself to put this book down after I started reading it. Unlike any usual "polite writing" of the fairy tales, I do not recommend parents to let their young children read it until they are teenagers or so, cause this book focus more on the comedy rather than focusing on the moral aspect of the original book. A few parody stories from this book would be, the frog prince, Hansel & Gretel, The Golden Goose & Aladdin's lamp.

If you enjoyed the cartoons on Bullwinkle or if you just have a flare for the zaney, you'll like it!
Not Nostalgia - Exactly

No, it's not Edward Everett Horton. This is a derivative work of the original Jay Ward Version. If you liked the old - you should like these. They are hysterical and relayed with the same wit as the ones from the Rocky & Bullwinkle TV show; however, they are not those stories!!
Great Laughs!

I bought this book for my dad for hannukkah and he LOVED it! It really brought us closer as a family, every night he would read one story to the family and each night we would beg for more! I just thought that this book is so wonderful. If you feel bad it gives you a good laugh, if your happy and you just want to read it then its great also! I HIGHLY recommend this book!
