Another wonderful Mike Thaler... This one has to be my all-time favorite of this series! Devin and I found this at the library (oh, a million years ago when there were libraries near us, of course), and when we read it to the kids, we could hardly get through it! We were laughing SO hard!!! Love the Ravon lady in her super special disguise... So great!! Very fun for everyone!

This is a tale of Snow White meets the dorf band and baseball team. Nerdy, Grouchy, Funky, Smiley, Wheezy, Drowsy, and Hip are the dorfs. It isn't an apple that does her in either. Pass-Out-Pink lipstick is lethal.

A very hip version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. There is a Wicked Queen with false eyelashes and fake nails and the Dwarfs are "seven little dudes playing rock and roll." Very cute retelling.
