Publisher's Synopsis
John Scieszka and Lane Smith's irreverent Caldecott Honor Winning book, now in Spanish!
A wild, laugh-out-loud collection of reimagined fairy tales from the author and illustrator of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!
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.
