From “The Stinky Cheese Man” to “Cinderummpelstiltskin” these unique, hilarious retellings poke fun at classic stories and characters. The wonderfully offbeat and bizarre illustrations, as well as innovative play with typography and book design, make for a one-of-kind masterpiece from two powerhouse children’s book creators.

We’ve had so much fun with this hilarious rendition of The Gingerbread Man. Some twenty years ago, when I was a child, the classic The Stinky Cheese Man book was coveted by us elementary-schoolers. It was your lucky day to find it restocked on the shelf so that you may have your turn to borrow it. Giggles are abundant and laughter roars as I read this to my children. The pictures are cosmically entertaining for my six-year-old. The variation in fonts and writing style is interesting and unique. Some words are falling off the page, and some are upside down. A miracle, there is no fight when I ask my son to alternate lines with me. The words are on-par with his reading level and do the work of strengthening his recall of relevant digraphs. They are in abundance, and I appreciate the repetition. The book is sturdy and firm. I’m so glad to see they are still printing this book, and for such a good price.
