Reach for this book when your child starts to find the real world a bit too predictable or when you want to spark a collaborative creative spark in a group.

Written as a collaboration between a storyteller and the neighborhood children, the collection is a masterclass in absurdist humor and fairy-tale subversion. It promotes lateral thinking and creative problem-solving while remaining thoroughly entertaining. Parents will appreciate the clever wordplay and the way it validates a child's sense of logic. It is perfect for ages 7 to 12 as a read-aloud or for independent readers who enjoy being surprised by where a plot might lead.
