Overview / 简介: |
If geese had graves, Mother Goose would be rolling in hers. The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales retells--and wreaks havoc on--the allegories we all thought we knew by heart. In these irreverent variations on well-known themes, the ugly duckling grows up to be an ugly duck, and the princess who kisses the frog wins only a mouthful of amphibian slime. The Stinky Cheese Man deconstructs not only the tradition of the fairy tale but also the entire notion of a book. Our naughty narrator, Jack, makes a mockery of the title page, the table of contents, and even the endpaper by shuffling, scoffing, and generally paying no mind to structure. Characters slide in and out of tales; Cinderella rebuffs Rumpelstiltskin, and the Giant at the top of the beanstalk snacks on the Little Red Hen. There are no lessons to be learned or morals to take to heart--just good, sarcastic fun that smart-alecks of all ages will love.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I bought this book for my boys(then 6 and 9)over a year ago and read it to them as a bedtime book. Adults can appreciate it as a hilarious (and clever) take on well-worn fairy tales and the kids cannot resist the outright silliness of it. For the last few months the book has sat in the back seat of the car and as I drive them about 60 miles every weekend it has been read over and over. They are still discovering funny bits hidden outside the stories. My 7-year old read the silly verbage about the ISBN code to me out loud last week and laughed his head off. If kid's fiction can be edgey and smart - then this is.
Now that Chritmas is here, I'm shopping for more titles by this author.
