The stories in this book are almost Fairy Tales. But not quite. They are Fairly Stupid Tales. What else would you call a story like ģGoldilocks and the Three Elephantsē? In this hilarious retelling of familiar tales, Jon Scieszka also includes the story of Chicken Licken,ē ģThe Really Ugly Duckling,ē ģThe Tortoise and the Hair,ē ģCinderumpelstiltskin,ē ģLittle Red Running Shorts,ē ģJackđs Bean Problem,ē and many more! Each story is accompanied by funny color illustrations by Lane Smith. The book warns that ģAnyone caught telling these fairly stupid tales will be visited, in person, by the Stinky Cheese Man.ē
