While I didn't notice it the first time around, the second time I wondered how I missed it. You make an excellent point. Jen - It was clever. Melissa - Mine is a library copy too. I wouldn't mind owning it either. Good to know it's not to long for your girls at night. My boys are at the age where they have short attention spans. Vasilly - Glad you and your kids enjoyed it so much! Kailana - Do! It's worth the read. amy BTW M - Hoodwinked had such potential to be a great movie! It was okay, but could have been better. But yeah, it's kinda like that. Alyssa - I love how he spinned each of the stories. Definitely keep your eyes out for it. pussreboots – After I read your review and comment, I went back and looked at it.

Your description reminded me a little of that movie Hoodwinked. It was like Little Red Riding Hood, but funnier. Except that was only the one fairy tale. That sounds pretty cool.

I'm glad you did too. I read it to my older kids (ages 5, 7, and 9) but not the baby who's 3. The 3 year old did like looking at the pictures. Great review!

It was so much fun to read aloud to the girls (we didn't mind taking the time at bedtime, just so you know...). They really liked how the tales led one to the other, and seeing characters from earlier tales pop up. It's one of the ones that I really wouldn't mind having a copy of.

It would have looked better hand inked. I liked the artwork and how the stories were linked together but I found the typed dialog distracting. It would have looked better hand inked.
