  <description><![CDATA[These days, most comics really aren't for kids. But <em>Little Lit</em>  fixes that with funny and fractured all-ages fairy tales by some of the best  comic artists around. Annoying magic pumpkins, a horrible ogre queen, and  strangely hungry horses are just some of the strange characters guaranteed to  delight both children and adults.<p>  Twelve great tales, some new and some retold classics, with weird and wacky  pictures fill the pages of <em>Little Lit</em>. Comic fans will recognize the  talents of Dan Clowes, Kaz, Joost Swarte, and many more. Kids will love the  unexpected twists on old favorites, like the lions who populate Barbara  McClintock's &quot;The Princess and the Pea.&quot; Like all good fairy tales, many of  these stories have lessons hidden in them. <em>Maus</em> creator Art Spiegelman  tells the story of a young prince who finds out he doesn't have to change the  thing he likes best about himself in &quot;Prince Rooster.&quot; And Harry Bliss's &quot;The  Baker's Daughter&quot; finds out the hard way that she shouldn't be stingy.<p>  Walt Kelly's 1943 &quot;The Gingerbread Man&quot; gives today's kids a taste of the comic  books of yesteryear. There are even activities, like Charles Burns's  &quot;Spookyland&quot; and Bruce McCall's silly &quot;What's Wrong with this Picture?&quot; But the  very best part of the whole wonderful package is the hilarious game included on  the endpapers. It's called &quot;Fairy Tale Road Rage,&quot; and it's beautifully  illustrated with the exquisite, nostalgic art of Chris Ware (<em>Jimmy Corrigan</em>). Players race  to complete a silly story. Bedtime was never better! (All ages) <em>--Therese  Littleton</em></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[These days, most comics really aren't for kids. But <em>Little Lit</em>  fixes that with funny and fractured all-ages fairy tales by some of the best  comic artists around. Annoying magic pumpkins, a horrible ogre queen, and  strangely hungry horses are just some of the strange characters guaranteed to  delight both children and adults.<p>  Twelve great tales, some new and some retold classics, with weird and wacky  pictures fill the pages of <em>Little Lit</em>. Comic fans will recognize the  talents of Dan Clowes, Kaz, Joost Swarte, and many more. Kids will love the  unexpected twists on old favorites, like the lions who populate Barbara  McClintock's &quot;The Princess and the Pea.&quot; Like all good fairy tales, many of  these stories have lessons hidden in them. <em>Maus</em> creator Art Spiegelman  tells the story of a young prince who finds out he doesn't have to change the  thing he likes best about himself in &quot;Prince Rooster.&quot; And Harry Bliss's &quot;The  Baker's Daughter&quot; finds out the hard way that she shouldn't be stingy.<p>  Walt Kelly's 1943 &quot;The Gingerbread Man&quot; gives today's kids a taste of the comic  books of yesteryear. There are even activities, like Charles Burns's  &quot;Spookyland&quot; and Bruce McCall's silly &quot;What's Wrong with this Picture?&quot; But the  very best part of the whole wonderful package is the hilarious game included on  the endpapers. It's called &quot;Fairy Tale Road Rage,&quot; and it's beautifully  illustrated with the exquisite, nostalgic art of Chris Ware (<em>Jimmy Corrigan</em>). Players race  to complete a silly story. Bedtime was never better! (All ages) <em>--Therese  Littleton</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[These days, most comics really aren't for kids. But <em>Little Lit</em>  fixes that with funny and fractured all-ages fairy tales by some of the best  comic artists around. Annoying magic pumpkins, a horrible ogre queen, and  strangely hungry horses are just some of the strange characters guaranteed to  delight both children and adults.<p>  Twelve great tales, some new and some retold classics, with weird and wacky  pictures fill the pages of <em>Little Lit</em>. Comic fans will recognize the  talents of Dan Clowes, Kaz, Joost Swarte, and many more. Kids will love the  unexpected twists on old favorites, like the lions who populate Barbara  McClintock's &quot;The Princess and the Pea.&quot; Like all good fairy tales, many of  these stories have lessons hidden in them. <em>Maus</em> creator Art Spiegelman  tells the story of a young prince who finds out he doesn't have to change the  thing he likes best about himself in &quot;Prince Rooster.&quot; And Harry Bliss's &quot;The  Baker's Daughter&quot; finds out the hard way that she shouldn't be stingy.<p>  Walt Kelly's 1943 &quot;The Gingerbread Man&quot; gives today's kids a taste of the comic  books of yesteryear. There are even activities, like Charles Burns's  &quot;Spookyland&quot; and Bruce McCall's silly &quot;What's Wrong with this Picture?&quot; But the  very best part of the whole wonderful package is the hilarious game included on  the endpapers. It's called &quot;Fairy Tale Road Rage,&quot; and it's beautifully  illustrated with the exquisite, nostalgic art of Chris Ware (<em>Jimmy Corrigan</em>). Players race  to complete a silly story. Bedtime was never better! (All ages) <em>--Therese  Littleton</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[These days, most comics really aren't for kids. But <em>Little Lit</em>  fixes that with funny and fractured all-ages fairy tales by some of the best  comic artists around. Annoying magic pumpkins, a horrible ogre queen, and  strangely hungry horses are just some of the strange characters guaranteed to  delight both children and adults.<p>  Twelve great tales, some new and some retold classics, with weird and wacky  pictures fill the pages of <em>Little Lit</em>. Comic fans will recognize the  talents of Dan Clowes, Kaz, Joost Swarte, and many more. Kids will love the  unexpected twists on old favorites, like the lions who populate Barbara  McClintock's &quot;The Princess and the Pea.&quot; Like all good fairy tales, many of  these stories have lessons hidden in them. <em>Maus</em> creator Art Spiegelman  tells the story of a young prince who finds out he doesn't have to change the  thing he likes best about himself in &quot;Prince Rooster.&quot; And Harry Bliss's &quot;The  Baker's Daughter&quot; finds out the hard way that she shouldn't be stingy.<p>  Walt Kelly's 1943 &quot;The Gingerbread Man&quot; gives today's kids a taste of the comic  books of yesteryear. There are even activities, like Charles Burns's  &quot;Spookyland&quot; and Bruce McCall's silly &quot;What's Wrong with this Picture?&quot; But the  very best part of the whole wonderful package is the hilarious game included on  the endpapers. It's called &quot;Fairy Tale Road Rage,&quot; and it's beautifully  illustrated with the exquisite, nostalgic art of Chris Ware (<em>Jimmy Corrigan</em>). Players race  to complete a silly story. Bedtime was never better! (All ages) <em>--Therese  Littleton</em></p></p>]]>
