Product Information

Gwen: Ok. Say, somebody already wrote a story of Cinderella. BUT I wanted to make a story of Cinderella, but I made it sillier. And goofier. Medium Awareness: The characters are not only perfectly aware they're in a book that's going wrong, they comment and complain about the front matter, table of contents, typography, endpapers, and even the UPC and ISBN on the cover.

Now I guess I can to a certain extent appreciate the parodistic intent of Jon Scieszka's The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. However and that having all been said, Scieszka's retold narratives do not really work at all well for me as satires (as parodies), and primarily due to the fact there are simply far far too many tales presented. For honestly, as soon as the plot lines of the given stories of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales seem to become somewhat interesting and entertaining to and for me, there generally is an abrupt and rushed ending inserted by the author, and another, similarly choppy and equally annoyingly uneven tale commences (which sure does lead to potential distraction and for me, as well as massive tedium and frustration, and indeed so much so that I only very briefly and cursively skimmed the last three stories, and with scant regret). The book is a picture book but with lots of different fairy tales that have been twisted and warped into a fabulous and hilarious read. 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 retellingspoke 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.In "Giant Story", the illustration of Aesop from Squids Will be Squids (by the same authors) can be seen. I do have this dilemma. I like edgy things. I’m attracted to them, but I wish I could do just kind of a sweet thing. I start out sometimes doing sweet things, but they just come off kind of goofy.” Shout-Out: Madeline's hat can be seen in the collage-style illustration that accompanies the Giant's story. Tortoise ran. Rabbit grew his hair. Tortoise ran. Rabbit grew his hair. Tortoise ran. Rabbit grew his hair. [...] Tortoise is still running. Rabbit is still growing his hair. Not the end.

Cutting the Knot: In "The Princess and the Bowling Ball", every princess who stays at the king's and queen's castle fails the pea test since they can't feel the pea under the hundred mattresses. When the prince meets the girl of his dreams, he solves the problem by replacing the pea with a bowling ball. His parents are satisfied and they get married, and they live happily, if not honestly, ever after.
