LITTLE BAD WOLFE AND RED RIDING HOOD
Found this book on Amazon's Daily Deals and had to download it to my Kindle right away. Glad I did. . .it's a twist on the beloved fairy tales we all grew up with. Since I absolutely LOVED The Stinky Cheeseman and Other Fairly Stupid Tales I knew I just had to read this one. The daily deal book is only a sample so I didn't get to read all the stories but have no fear I will buy the rest because they are funny.
This book wasn't as funny as The Stinky Cheeseman (by now I think I'm partial to that book) but this one did have lots of creativity and I really could visualize the characters doing and saying their lines. So in that sense that's good! (I probably would have made the wolfe speak with "street/hip hop" talk)
Once again I will state that this type of book may not be fully appreciated by younger children because it is a play on the original fairly tales of "yore". (always wanted to use that word in a sentence) So it's probably best to either read the original fairy tales first then read this one to the youngsters or just stick with those that are fimiliar with the original.
The concept of this book is refreshing because I often think of things like this and my downfall is that I never write them down - if I did look I too could have become an author. My daughter and I make up stories all the time using books or tv shows or just our imagination and you'd be surprised how good they turn out. I loved playing this game with her when she was little as it would always make her sleepy (more often than not I would fall asleep first - LOL!!)
