Reach for this book when you need to break a gloomy mood with belly laughs or when your child is starting to find traditional fairy tales a bit too predictable.

The book presents a series of classic fairy tales reimagined with finger and hand-based characters, such as Handerella and Finger Prints. It celebrates creative thinking and the joy of language through constant puns and wacky illustrations. Parents will appreciate how it encourages children to look at familiar stories from a completely different, albeit ridiculous, perspective. It is perfectly pitched for the elementary transition age where kids begin to appreciate sophisticated puns and satirical humor.
