This was really clever and funny. Poems retelling traditional fairy tales but with a nasty twist. Gotta say, I wasn't expecting to read "slut"* in a children's book

This is getting four stars instead of three, in part because I just found this made into a two part animation on Netflix. They added a narrative tying all the poems together and it's awesome!

Short and sweet, kinda funny and silly. Not mind blowing though.

Hey, it's a series of famous fairy tales, with a dark, Dahlishly funny twist. I mean, it's probably a 10 min read, but it's worth it if you love Roald Dahl as well.
