 Rating: - Great simple entertainmentThis got my 3 1/2 year old laughing in delight at the silly results of his page choices. He would not let me put it down, and though I had initialy bought it as a present for someone else, i will have to buy another copy. He was thrilled to know which stories the pages came from, and mixing them up brought him great entertainment. A big hit. Rating: - The perfect giftI can't think of a more wonderful gift for any child. This book has everything - from lovely illustrations to a link to familiar fairytales, great opportunity for humour, creativity .... what more could one want? My daughter has entertained herself and the whole rest of the family endlessly with this book and it's such a pleasure as a parent, too, to be able to sit down and have some fun with fairy tales from a slightly different perspective. Rating: - A brilliant, high quality children's book!This is yet another of Hilary Robinson's fabulous children's books and as a Pre-School (Nursery) teacher, it's one that I love sharing with children and a book they relish. The delicious pleasure and the infectious laughter they explode with from the hilarious permutations of the stories is a delight to share. Well done Hilary and Nick...this is a brilliant book that even the adults get a great giggle from as they read it to their children! LOVE IT!! Rating:  - AmazingMy children entertained for more than 30 minutes. It is a good book then. They have to make their own story. Great concept Rating: - HilariousA fantastic book that takes well know fairy tales and allows you to mix them up. It has kept my kids, (a boy aged 5 and a girl aged 9) amused for hours - not to mention their parents. It is an excellent book for encouraging beginner or reluctant readers as it allows them to choose what they want to read, and then delivers it in short phases, with good picture clues. An example..
