THE STINKY CHEESE MAN AND OTHER FAIRLY STUPID TALES/ by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith




THE STINKY CHEESE MAN AND OTHER FAIRLY STUPID TALES by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith is one entertaining book!  Its a great collection of madcap revisions of fairy tales we all knew and may have loved.  Chicken Little becomes "Chicken Licken", Little Red Riding Hood becomes "Little Red Riding Shorts", The Ugly Duckling becomes the "Really Ugly Duckling" and then we have "The princess and the Bowling Ball" (not the Pea)  and of course it's not the Gingerbread Man but "The Stinky Cheese Man"  Well, you get the idea!  The authors of the original fairy tales may need an apology.  We had a good laugh at their expense!
