You will never read a fairy tale the same way after you read this hilarious collection of six stories told by the so-called villains, innocent bystanders and other victims of fairytale crime. A kind and friendly but very hungry wolf, a lizard who is horrified to be turned into a footman (whatever that is), a grumpy princess who can''t sleep, a slightly deaf king, a witch who runs the Happy Healthy Holiday Home, and a cow whose ploppies turn out to be magic after all ... These stories have to be read to be appreciated! Just like in Beastly Tales, here we have Richard Tulloch writing at his best for younger readers: he''s a master of turning a story on its head to create something completely new. Quirky, funny, and full of rhyming, alliteration and word play that will captivate beginner readers, Twisted Tales is a collection of stories that will delight parents and young children.

Here s another collection of Andrew Daddo s hilarious short stories that sold straight through their first print run for Christmas 2001, and generated a fantastic publicity campaign. Anyone who has seen Andrew on television knows that he is a born storyteller. And the stories in Sprung Again! are the kind that parents and grandparents long for, and the kids themselves love: stories of adventure, comedy and mischief from an almost legendary Australia, a place that is often not reported in the daily news. But what immediately strikes readers is that these stories are real . They re about football, fishing, camping, holidays, school gangs, growing up and dealing with the whole messy business of boyfriends and girlfriends, being part of the group or a nerd, so they will be eagerly read by both boys and girls. The stories are pacy and cheeky enough to appeal to the kids who love Andy Griffiths, but their resolution often involves little ethical issues that give them a strong appeal to adults. So Sprung Again! will be an ideal Christmas gift, and will have young readers and adults alike laughing with embarrassment at an author who s caught them out when they weren t looking. Terry Denton is one of the secrets behind the success of Andy Griffiths Just series, and his illustrations put another mischievous twist in Andrew Daddo s adventures.
