From the Inside Flap:
Long before Politically Correct Bedtime Stories invaded bookstores, Americans were getting their giggles from Fractured Fairy Tales, those delightfully twisted parables brought to us between the cliffhanger adventures of our favorite cartoon heroes, Rocky & Bullwinkle. This collection, illustrated with classic art from the animated series includes the comical retelling of 25 classics such as Pinocchio (who starred in his own variety show "The Pinocchio Doody Show"), Jack and the Beanstalk (did you know that Jack grew a beanstalk in the outfield so he could catch fly balls for his baseball team?), or King Midas (who became a dentist so he could give his patients gold fillings). This satirical humor loved for so long by so many, is a must-have for fans of the show and anyone who loves classic fairy tales--with a twist.

I haven't read this book, but I loved the fairy tales on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. Apparently, these tales have been updated a bit, but I hope they're still funny :-)

Received from fellow BookCrosser lisaxiii at this evening's Dublin Meetup. Promised to fellow BookCrosser herebedragons as soon as I finish it.

Narrative of the skewed fairy tales we all remember from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon show. These have been updated for modern times, but I didn't find them particularly "politically correct." By updating, I mean that they mention some products or situations that hadn't yet existed back in the 1960s when these were originally produced for TV.

Promised to herebedragons at our next meetup.

RELEASE NOTES:

Since HereBeDragons was unable to attend this evening's Dublin Meetup, this was released to fellow BookCrosser pleasantread, who will pass it on to HereBeDragons when she is done.

The tales were not as funny as I remembered. My son's really enjoyed them though. I will pass this on during our meetup this evening.

This has been passed around at our monthly meeting from Bookcrosser to Bookcrosser. And now it's my turn!

I'm glad to see this book back at the meet-up. I'm looking forward to reading it. :)

RELEASE NOTES:

Released to caligula03 at our monthly meetup. Enjoy!

Book is still on my shelf. It's not in Dublin.

The stories are cute in small doses but after awhile they become repetitive and the punchines, predictable.

RELEASE NOTES:

Taking to the next meeting.

This is going to be so much fun to read! Thank you and very nice meeting you Lisa!
