Se me ha hecho cortísimo, claro. Me he reído a carcajadas, cada cuento me ha parecido mejor que el anterior.
No me explico no haber leído más de este señor cuando era más pequeña.
Tronchante y las ilustraciones también me han gustado.

Cuentos cortos con un toque creep. Buenos para salir un rato de las historias cotidianas de Disney.

These were amazing! I can’t wait to share with my daughter… when she is a parent someday and needs a laugh…

This book is hilarious and quick, but it's also dark and a little twisted...

I like the funny twists on fairy tales. I don't think I would read it to my kids, but I definitely enjoyed it.

Hilarious and fun. The Spanish translation does a great job of rhyming, but does use very high vocabulary that even some of my native speaking students had a hard time understanding. Definitely easier as a read aloud where the teacher is explaining along the way.

Ofcourse this can't be anything but great fun!
I loved the different twists to these well known fairytales (they all made me laugh), and I love the classic Roald-Dahl style rhymes.

I also find this is a good book to practice english pronunciation, because there's quite some tongue-twisters in here.
