by Lucy Cousins, Candlewick Press, 2009
Simple text and bold illustrations tell eight classic fairy tales, including "The Three Little Pigs" and "Little Red Riding Hood."In this bold, funny, and unflinching collection, the beloved author-illustrator retains all the emotion and humor of the original fairy tales: the heroes are courageous, the villains are horrible, and the children are tasty. With her sly, simple language and vibrant illustrations, even the scariest fiends become the stuff of shared hilarity and shivery thrills. Beware -- these fairy tales are not for the faint of heart! Maisy creator Lucy Cousins shifts gears to retell her favorites with vivid, rousing illustrations. SLJ reviewed for kindergarten - 2nd grade.
Everyone loves fairy tales and Lucy Cousins does an excellent job of introducing a few of the classic tales with humor and interest with this book. Yummy is a perfect edition for teachers introducing the genre, exploring traditional literature, or for reading aloud.
