The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
by Jon Scieszka
Review this book!
This collection of humorous fractured fairy tales is shepherded by Jack, the snarky narrator, and includes such twisted stories as "The Really Ugly Duckling" who did not become beautiful with age, "Little Red Running Shorts," a fast lass who out-ran the wolf, and a repulsive "The Other Frog Prince." Lane Smith's riotous color illustrations accompany the text of this 1993 Caldecott Honor Book.

First Line
A long time ago, people used to tell magical stories of wonder and enchantment. Those stories were called Fairy Tales. Those stories are not in this book. The stories in this book are almost Fairy Tales. But not quite.
