Publisher Description
A follow up to the bestselling The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster. Fairy tales have never been funnier than in this outrageously silly picture book!
Once upon a time there lived an old Big Bad Wolf. He no longer has any huff and puff to blow down the Three Little Pigs' houses so he scampers off into the pages of the Fairy Tale book to find a new one. He tries one tale after another, but things never quite work to plan. Will he find a fairy tale that suits him perfectly?
With all the well-known and well-loved fairy tales, including Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
'It's madness and mayhem which results in a very funny, laugh out loud book.' The Bookbag

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This fractured fairy tale, a companion to The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster (2009), sprints to its finish as the wolf from the Three Little Pigs drops in on half a dozen other stories in search of some stress relief. Laughs are plentiful, and intriguing story possibilities flash by like train stations. First stop, Cinderella, where the fairy godmother gives the wolf a dress for the ball. "Wolves don't wear dresses!" he cries, and skedaddles. He rushes up the beanstalk and down again, gets kissed by the Prince ("Yuck!... I'm not being kissed!"), and has some porridge ("What are you doing in our fairy tale?" asks Mommy Bear). Williamson's figures have bendy appendages and eraser-shaped heads; colors and shapes swirl and the atmosphere is full of floating things, as if everything's spinning. Sure enough, chaos reigns in the final pages "Hansel and Gretel pushed Prince Charming into an oven. And Puss in Boots pricked his paw on a spindle and fell asleep for a hundred years" before the wolf returns to his old job. Just the thing for a can't-sit-still crowd. Ages 3 7.
