TIGER TALES: The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster by David Conway

The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster


I was so happy to get this book from Tiger Tales. I already reviewed a similar book, The Great Fairy Tale Disaster earlier this year - a book I ordered online that I didn't even know was from Tiger Tales until the package arrived. This one was just as good (although I am partial to fractured fairy tales). Little Miss Muffet is tired of her nursery rhyme, so she goes off exploring. She ends up in Jack & Jill, Hickory Dickory Dock and several others, but none of those goes well and soon she wants back in her own story again.

Beautiful illustrations (by Melanie Williamson - same illustrator as Fairy Tale Disaster) and a fun, silly story will appeal to lower elementary students (and younger children, too).

PICTURE BOOK: The Great Fairy Tale Disaster by David Conway

The Great Fairy Tale Disaster

The wolf from the story of the three pigs is looking for a break from his tale, so he goes exploring in other fairy tales like Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Three Bears and Rapunzel. He soon learns that there's no place like home.

This was great fun to read and will be a fantastic addition to my fractured fairy tales collection! When this arrived in the mail, I was especially pleased to see it was published by Tiger Tales, one of my favorite publishers for kids.
