I loved this boo because it rhymes and it is really funny. It s taking dull princess fairy tales that we all know and putting in elements from modern life characteristics to make the human mind imagine more bold and bright pictures. It has great vocab and the stories are really exciting. I recommend this book to people who like poems and rhymes.

I liked this because I like Ronald Dahl books and the rhymes were funny. All the stories are different from the original ones and my favourite was Snow White because they were all liked horse racing and were jockeys, which was funny.

I love this book because it is very good and funny.

I liked this book as it took old fairy tales and replaced certain elements with modern day characteristics and the story's brought out bigger and bolder pictures in people's minds rather than the dull fairy tale which always has a happy ending. It is something different which is unique and beneficial to young and happy readers. I really enjoyed this book despite my age. This shows that this book is enjoyable within a wide age range.

This book is about stories that end up being revolting and horrible and this is funny.

some inappropriate wording for children

15 Aug 2017

I would recommend children to read this book if they like rhymes or poetry and the book has got rhymes that you will all be familiar with (e.g the three little pigs)

11 Aug 2017

I like that the stories had a bit of a twist.

04 Aug 2017

It is like the real fairy tales but actually bad!

03 Aug 2017

It is so funny it tells you about Jack And The Beanstalk.But then makes another series about the story.And make it funnier.Find out about other books that you know about and read it funnier.RememberRonald Dahl is the best story teller and maker.
