Synopsis

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs meets There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly in this clever, irreverent update of our most beloved children's classics.
The little old woman who lives in a book has lost her children! But instead of sitting around and waiting for them to show up, in a refreshingly empowering, feminist take on the classic tale, she departs on a mission to find her kids herself--even if it means popping into every other fairy tale and nursery rhyme in town! She'll enlist the help of Humpty Dumpty, Jack and his beanstalk, Princess Beauty, the Three Bears, and more familiar characters in her quest to rescue her kids. This silly, irreverent picture book is a clever jaunt through our most beloved children's stories--and it's sure to become the next modern day classic.

This story is a confusion of nursery rhyme characters, all beautifully illustrated. The Old Woman is the lead character of this story and she lived in a book instead of a shoe. When she went looking for her missing children, she visited other books with characters of many other nursery rhymes - all,......more

Goodreads review by Melanie on May 22, 2020

A story that begins with a woman who lives in a book and has many children who have all disappeared. It goes on from there to include many fairytale and nursery rhyme characters. It's cute and children will pour over the pictures looking for clues. For some reason, it just didn't feel as if this stor......more
