Wait, that's not right. This original fairy tale... Nope. Mystery? Joke book? Superhero story? Pirate adventure? This delightful mash-up features every kind of character found in the picture-book universe--all in one book. Just when the reader is convinced the story is going in one direction, it spins off in another. <p/>Ever-changing illustrations keep pace with the rapid reversals, and the setting shifts with nearly every turn of the page. Truly inventive, here's a picture book that can be anything you want it to be!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Cleverly meta </b>and <b>totally fun, </b> with a spoonful of (almost tongue-in-cheek) morals thrown in. --<i>Kirkus Reviews <p/></i>"Children may enjoy the <b>playful art</b> with characters jumping in and out of the story, and they may look at literary genres with<b> fresh eyes</b>." <i> <i>--Bulletin</i><br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>CHRISTOPHER HEALY held numerous other jobs before becoming a children's book author, including actor, ad copywriter, toy-store display designer, fact-checker, dishwasher, journalist, costume maker, video-game reviewer, and haunted-house zombie (though not in that order).
