A lovely and beautifully illustrated book with an interesting take on fairy tales! Could be used in an English lesson for creative writing inspiration or just as a nice book to finish the school day with.

I think this is really well done. It was great to get the kids so involved in the story with a game of guess the fairytale.

Night-time Tale by Ruth Brown – HOW DID I MISS THIS IN 2005? Wow. Really excited to discover this book. A lovely parent donated it to the library recently. So excited. I’m a huge long-time fan of Ruth Brown. I especially enjoyed reading A Dark, Dark Tale which is one of my favorite books- I now partner that book with The Dark by Lemony Snicket. This one is a classic story partnered with a classic partnered with a fairy tale on top of another fairy tale. So fantastic. There are so many other books I’d share this book with- especially with Janet and Allen Ahlberg.
