Reading this is kind of like being trapped in a room with that one uncle who tells all the terrible, groan inducing pun-filled jokes. It's kind of horrible, but also kind of endearing at the same time. If you don't groan aloud at least once while reading this then you're not really paying attention. Finger Prints Charming????
Here the reader is treated to four fractured fairy tales with body parts (mostly appendages) in the staring roles - Handsel and Gretel, Handerella, Nose White and....wait for it....Thumbelina. Ugh! The concept and wacky illustrations will definitely call to mind The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales and works like it, but for me it didn't come off quite as clever as it wanted to be. Nonetheless, kids who love Jon Scieszka will likely love this.
