You'll need to be tough to cope with these nursery tales - By: crstorey@portables1.ngfl.gov.uk, 05 Oct 2001 
Jon does it again for the more reluctant reader as well as the already-hooked. Fairy tales were meant to threaten & warn but in many 'pretty' versions even the demise of the pigs is blood free & smiley. Read about these well-known but not-so-well-known characters again & share them with an adult. Don't forget to hold their hand & leave the light on at bedtime!
A Great Big Pile of Mischeif! - By: D. Porter, 30 Jun 2000 This book is just a mischevious game for kids, it grants you access to the mechanics of the book, & manages to poke fun at alll the conventions.
This is the antidote to the Stepford kids!
Please read it with your children, or read it to other peoples children, or read it yourself.
Thanks John & Lane!
A wonderful book, one of the best. - By: , 27 Mar 2000 I first knew of this book when my teacher read it to us. As soon as I had finished my homework, I went onto the Amozon, & found I was two years out of the age, I entirly disagreed with it- I laughed almost alll the time it was read to us. It was also the work of a genious how the text was in different colours & sizes. Usuly, I hate fairy tales, but this gives them a knew twist. Wonderful book.

Terrible book!!! Don't waste your money!! - By: , 01 Sep 1999 
The only reason I bought this book is because of the great reviews listed by Amazon.com. I think parents should re-look what they read to their children!! This book is horrible.....in my opinion it teaches children to make fun of each other. I DO NOT recommend this book.
