Review
3 short stories (told in a rhyming fashion) that reminded me of Fractured Fairytales (from the Rocky & Bullwinkle show if you are old like me!). The first story is about the 8th dwarf and how Snow White wasn’t quite the brightest person. The second seemed to be a mixture of several fairy tales – there were trolls, witches, the candy cottage from Hansel & Gretal and transformation spells. The third was about Jack & the Beanstalk.
All were great stories and a bit twisted, but very enjoyable. I got a chuckle out of them and there was even a bit of a moral to the stories. We give these stories 4 paws up!
Praise for Tale Spins
Not usually enamored of either re-tellings or poetry I was totally taken aback by just how much I relished this trilogy of alternative fairy tales and re-tellings aimed at the Young Adult market. ~Tracy (Goodreads)
TaleSpins was like walking into a vintage store and finding a true treasure. This book takes the fairytales we all grew up on and gives them an interesting and modernized version that I enjoyed. ~Rose (Goodreads)
