Product Description

Review
For Email Jesus @ Bethlehem: 'Lively without being irreverent.' - The Bookseller, 'A thoughtful and heartfelt survey.' - TES, 'Just what the modern child should have' - Marianne Adey, Co-Ordinator Children's Book Award (. )

'Youngsters who know their fairy tales should have great fun mixing and matching them.'

(The Children's Bookseller )

‘For very small children, no amount of visionary artwork can compete with the fun of lifting flaps. My son, aged three and a half, loved Hilary Robinson and Nick Sharratt’s Mixed Up Fairy Tales’.

(stephanie merrett - observer )

Classic fairy stories have been re-told often but none so entertaining and unusual as Mixed Up Fairy Tales. Author Hilary Robinson and illustrator Nick Sharratt have created a classic fairy story book, but with an ingenious and captivating twist. Anyone, young or old, with an ounce of imagination and partial to fairy tales will love this book.

(www.writeaway.org.uk )

'...good fun.' (Books for Keeps )

Product Description
This fantastic split page book allows the reader to mix and match different combinations of fairy tales with hilarious results. What would happen if Goldilocks had two horrid stepsisters and fell asleep for a hundred years? Would she be woken by a hungry wolf or Little Red Riding Hood's Granny? (20051001)

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great idea and beautifully done. Buy!, 4 Mar 2005
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Mixed Up Fairy Tales (Hardcover)
This book is very cleverly done. It's so clever it seems terrifically simple. There are a dozen fairy tales, all of which you'd expect a four year old to be familiar with, stripped down to a single longish sentence of four components which can then be mixed an matched in the time-honoured way that's often used to create mixed up animals. For example: the Ugly duckling.. is scratched by a spinning wheel, then falls asleep in baby bears bed after eating... Red Riding Hood's granny. The children love it because they're meddling with and subverting stories they know and it is great fun for the parent too. Also, as the words are fairly simple, a beginning reader can do it themselves and is inspired to keep on doing it. As you'd expect from Nick Sharratt, the illustrations are straightforward and appealing. You just can't go wrong! If you like this, look out too for 'You Choose' which is another great Sharrat classic which is also an inspiring fun book for this age group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, 26 Jul 2006
By W. Skilling "Averthan" (Warrington, Cheshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mixed Up Fairy Tales (Hardcover)
A fantastic book that takes well know fairy tales and allows you to mix them up. It has kept my kids, (a boy aged 5 and a girl aged 9) amused for hours - not to mention their parents. It is an excellent book for encouraging beginner or reluctant readers as it allows them to choose what they want to read, and then delivers it in short phases, with good picture clues. An example.. Jack...grew and grew to the size of a house...and dreamt about marrying...Little Red Riding Hood's Granny. I will be buying a stack of these books as they will make excellent birthday presents!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great simple entertainment, 7 Jul 2008
By Mrs. C. Healy (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This got my 3 1/2 year old laughing in delight at the silly results of his page choices. He would not let me put it down, and though I had initialy bought it as a present for someone else, i will have to buy another copy. He was thrilled to know which stories the pages came from, and mixing them up brought him great entertainment. A big hit.
