Fairly Fairy Tales by Esme Raji Codell and Elisa Chavarri

Book CoverThis book plays with the question: What if a modern, everyday objects were added to classic fairy tales. A bottle of shampoo and Red Riding Hood gives way to Grandma's Beauty Salon. The Three Little Pigs add solar panels to their home, The Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk owns a Italian Restaurant, and a few more interested twists on fairy tales. While the book isn't told in regular plot format, adults and children will enjoy the possibilities of making up their own stories. This book is great for ages three and up.

Oops! by Colin McNaughton

Mr. Wolf is forgetful and confused. Preston Pig is clumsy. Mr. Wolf is
Book Coverhungry, and Preston is on the menu. Combining elements of the "The Three Little Pigs" and "Little Red Riding Hood," McNaugton has turned these two fairy tales on their heads in a clever story about a pig whose clumsiness saves him from being eaten. Mr. Wolf is a great narrator and his plans always go awry. Great for K-2nd graders.
