I really enjoyed this book and I think this is a cute story for kindergarten students ( ) While reading these truly fractured, twisted, and pun-filled stories, I found myself expecting Rocky and Bullwinkle to walk up with the rest of the characters from their TV show. Reading these tales out loud is a great way to appreciate just how horribly wonderful the puns are that fill these demented bedtime stories for the politically incorrect. But they're not for everyone—my cat, Edgar, kept leaving the room whenever I read them aloud, and I knew better than to read any to my wife, Vicky. This book was one guilty pleasure. It transported me back to my youth, dropped me laughing in front of the old family TV, and made me wonder whatever happened to my pajamas with the feet in them. The old familiar standard bedtime stories quickly became skewed as maybe a Hollywood agent appeared to cut a deal with a witch or anyone might suddenly disappear with a huge POOF! Pick this book up, read any of these fractured fairy tales out loud—let yourself go, enjoy yourself. If you don't find yourself smirking and laughing—you could be just too mature ... too adult ... maybe you need to look for something in our Self Help section. (4/99) My dad gave me this for Christmas and I'm glad he did - it was the right book to read on the planes coming back from Minneapolis to Los Angeles: short, not serious, entertaining and therefore distracting. I just finished them up, and they work just as well in the book as they did on the TV show, which I loved. I remember when this book came out, I was at the Barnes and Noble at the Grove and I wrote this book and several others down as ones I would like someday. Where that list is now, no idea, but I'm happy to have this come back into my life. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
