Another Other Side of the Stor

In this anthology of fractured fairy tales for ages 4–8, five famous—and infamous—fairy tale characters want the world to know what REALLY happened.

Think Snow White was the most perfect girl ever? Wrong. She had a mind like a leaky bucket. Sleeping Beauty? A beautiful klutz. And Rapunzel? Such an ungrateful creature! In these funny retellings, characters from beloved fairy tales prove that things can look very different if you consider them from another point of view.

Includes five stories:

• No Lie, I Acted Like a Beast!: The Story of Beauty and the Beast as Told by the Beast
• Seriously, Snow White was SO Forgetful!: The Story of Snow White as Told by the Dwarves
• Really, Rapunzel Needed a Haircut!: The Story of Rapunzel as Told by Dame Gothel
• Truly, We Both Loved Beauty Dearly!: The Story of Sleeping Beauty as Told by the Good and Bad Fairies
• Frankly, I Never Wanted to Kiss Anybody!: The Story of the Frog Prince as Told by the Frog
