The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales

Erik Forrest Jackson

Some fairy tales are too silly. Others are too serious. But when the Muppets meet the classics? The stories are just right! Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and the other Muppets as they bring favorite fairy tales to life in their own hilarious way. Once upon a time, there was a pretty young chicken named Camillarella, who had very heavy shoes and an enchanting Chicken Dance. Or maybe you'd prefer to hear the story of Janice, the flower child with braided tresses as yellow as SpongeBob. With all the favorite characters--Kermit, Miss Piggy, and others--these fairy tales give a whole new meaning to the word "classic." " . . . this book delivers raucous retellings of classic tales, modernized for today's savvy readers."--School Library Connection, Jenny MacKay

Muppets Meet the Classics: Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm

Illustrated by Iassen Ghiuselev. This is the timeless folktale of a young prince who undoes a terrible spell by accomplishing three impossible tasks - with the help of some small creatures he saved from cruelty. Iassen Ghiuselev's masterful illustrations carry a bearing and weight in sharp contrast to the pastel-pretty designs of other illustrated fairy tales. Here, the rich tapestry colours and lavish attention to detail create an atmospheric mystery and enrich the story with a magic all their own. Ages 6-11.
