A kind sister and a cruel one. A charming prince. A spiteful fairy. A hundred-year snooze. A pea under a pile of mattresses. A kiss. All the familiar ingredients, hut why is the punished sister happy? Where did that extra prince come from, and what does a flock of balding sheep or a fleck of tuna in a chocolate cake have to do with anything? Gad Carson Levine has waved her magic wand over three well-known fairy tales, and presto! They are transformed -- and sparklingly funny-in these delightful retellings: The Fairy's Mistake The Princess Test Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep Happily ever after has never been so hilarious! Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Awesome, Unique Princess Stories to tell your children These stories are all awesome. They are different, humorous and continually unpredicatble. Ms. Levine does a fabulous job of retelling well known fairy tales in such a way as to surprise and delight everyone and entertain even the most scattered of readers (not that I'm scattered or anything... I'm just saying, if I WAS:) She has inspired me to write stories, and my children have been inspired to play make believe and make up new and interesting tales. She inspires creativity and ...

Then she brought this book home from the school library. I didn't have to nag her once to finish it, she poured through it from cover to cover. She liked it because it was funny and captured her interest. Well, I was sold. I bought this book and Volume II and it was the beginning of the turn around. They helped to inspire the love of reading I was hoping for with my daughter, and now she willingly ...

That means that you miss the end of the second story and the beginning of the third, which caused great distress when it was discovered halfway through a long plane flight! We have the first Harper Trophy paperback edition (2003). Get the book- but make sure you get a different edition! Rating: - Great! I just love retellings of fairy tales, and Levine does some of the best work I've seen. They have just the right twist of humor to them, to show that she doesn't take herself too seriously, and the characters are so much fun! And it always has a happy ending, but not too sappy of an ending. I highly recommend this book for fantasy lovers of any age. see more Browse for similar items by category: Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths - Literature - Children's Books - 4-for-3 Books Store - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Stories Literature - Children's Books - 4-for-3 Books Store - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General Literature - Children's Books - 4-for-3 Books Store - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Humorous People & Places - Children's Books - 4-for-3 Books Store - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Royalty Social Sciences - Nonfiction - 4-for-3 Books Store - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Folklore & Mythology
