By Jon Scieszka
Illustrated by Lane Smith
ISBN-13: 978-0-670-844876
Jon Scieszka has created a hilarious book filled with tongue-in-cheek retellings of noted fairy tales.
Tweens will appreciate the bizarre, yet sophisticated humor of these zany fractured fairy tales, especially when shared amongs a group of friends. Children of all ages will be engaged from start to finish with kooky stories like Little Red Running Shorts, Jack’s Bean Problem, and the title story, The Stinky Cheese Man.
Sure to attract reluctant readers, this is an excellent high-interest book for the curious, imaginative tween who enjoy stories that are out of the ordinary. The illustrations are clever and comical, adding to the witty and sometimes sarcastic personalities of the characters. They’re a wonderful accompaniment to the hilarious text that adjusts in size from line to line and page to page.
