Extra! Extra! fairy-Tale News from Hidden Forest by Alma Flor Ada and illustrated by Leslie Tryon

This is one of the coolest versions of fairy tales I have ever read. Written and laid out like a newspaper, Fairy Tales News tells the stories of Jack and the Beanstalk, Pinocchio, Half-Chicken, and the Tortoise and the Hare as if they are newspaper headlines. Other fairy tales people make the paper as well. Readers will find out where to their stylish hoods from Red Riding Hood’s grandma, and the Three Pigs offer their own building contracting services. This book will definitely appeal to older children and their parents.
