Award-winning creators Laurel Snyder and Dan Santat transform a crowd of
classic tales into an ever-changing, fascinating, laugh-out-loud
choose-your-own-adventure picture book, in which you may find a sleeping
maiden, waste away in a sticky licorice cage, discover the gold at the
end of a wild goose chase, or maybe (just maybe) save yourself--and the
day!
GIVES YOUNG READERS THE POWER OF CHOICE: Where do you want to take the
story next? Choice and autonomy are essential concepts for children to
learn at a young age, and this pick-your-own-adventure picture book puts
the decision-making power right in their hands, inviting them to pick
and choose--and choose again!

and Gretel," "Snow White," "Sleeping Beauty," "Little Red Riding Hood,"
and more--characters and settings from these classic fairy tales take on
hilarious new life in a brand-new story, just right for the youngest
fairy tale fans.
TEACHES STORYTELLING BY EXAMPLE: This fun picture book offers young
readers the chance to create their own narratives out of the decisions
they make each step of the way, powerfully illustrating how a story is
created and how it proceeds from beginning to middle to end. Both a
teaching tool and an exciting adventure in its own right, this book is a
great resource for learning storytelling.
