A gorgeous new edition of the classic collection of fractured fairy tales from Gregory Maguire, nationally bestselling author of Wicked--with new cover and interior artwork and two never-before-published stories!
Once upon a time . . . nothing was as it seemed.
What if Sleeping Beauty were actually a frog princess, cursed forever to weep, sleep . . . and leap? Or the Three Chickens had to outwit Goldifox? What if Cinder-Elephant had the chance to attend the ball of her dreams--can she bake her way to meeting a dashing prince?
Zany animals of all species get their own fairy tale endings in this humorous fantasy collection of laugh-out-loud twists on the classics from Gregory Maguire, bestselling author of Wicked.
What happens when beloved fairy tales get a zany, animal-centric makeover?
- Twisted Fairy Tales: What if Sleeping Beauty wasn't a girl at all, but a frog princess cursed to weep, sleep... and leap?
- Animal Fairy Tales: Meet Cinder-Elephant, who hopes to bake her way to the ball, and the Three Chickens who must outwit a clever Goldifox.
- Funny Kids Books: Perfect for young readers who love clever wordplay and stories that are more giggly than grim.
- Middle Grade Fantasy: A must-read from Gregory Maguire, the beloved, nationally bestselling author of the wildly imaginative classic, Wicked.
