The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka

FIRST EDITION [1992] VIKING

9th printing / 1992. 

Hardcover w/ dust jacket in very good condition.   

Dust jacket has some wear to edges; but is otherwise clean, bright and fully in tact. Now housed in a new HQ brodart jacket protector.

Book itself is excellent and reads as new. 

The entire book, with its unconventional page arrangement and eclectic, frenetic mix of text and pictures, is a spoof on the art of book design and the art of the fairy tale. The individual tales, such as The Really Ugly Duckling and Little Red Running Shorts, can be extracted for telling aloud, with great success. Another masterpiece from the team that created The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!

A revisionist storyteller provides his mad, hilarious versions of children's favorite tales in this collection that includes "Little Red Running Shorts", "The Princess and the Bowling Ball", "Cinderumpelstilskin", and others.
