Reviews
--Publishers Weekly
"Oozing with wit and charm."--Once Upon a Time in Gambit
"Packs in some solid jokes... Maxwell's humor is dry, and hip readers will giggle at the snapbacks and humorous dialogue sprinkled throughout. ...Cotterill's artwork...is loose and lively."
--Kirkus
"This fractured fairy tale is based on characters from many traditional stories that older children will be familiar with... Slapstick."--School Library Journal
