Oh my word! This retelling of Rapunzel is HILARIOUS!!
Filled with drawings reminiscent of a Roald Dahl book and some seriously BAD hair puns, it is nothing short of hysterical. I haven't gotten a chance to read it to my kids yet, but I know for certain that Boo is going to crack up.
I know I did!

Again, HYSTERICAL! Oh my gosh!
Love the bears and LOVE LOVE LOVE the resolution at the end. This has to be the best retelling of Goldilocks EVER.
Seriously. You really must go read this one.
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend both of these, especially for kids ages.... oh, 3-99. :)

Those look adorable. I will have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, we first "meet" last year for our reviews. Crazy, huh?
Lol! I'll have to check these out. Sounds like my girls would love them.
ReplyDelete@ Andrea- It is crazy. Crazier still that I remembered that detail... :)
ReplyDelete@NotNessie- I think they would! I still need to read them to my kids.
These look so delightful! There is something about fairy tales that inspire so many great stories, some of them delightfully spoofy. :)
ReplyDeleteDelightful is an excellent word for them! I love spoofs!
