Ahh, fairy tales. The tried and true stories of our youth, and the youth before us, and the youth before that. Usually, very little changes with fairy tales . . . until it does. Over the past few years, new life has been breathed into these time-tested stories that we all know so well. From TV shows like Once Upon a Time and novels like Cinder and Wicked, adults have enjoyed a new take on an old familiar classic. Now we have a wide variety of alternative fairy tales for kids. 

Over the past decade or so there have been more and more children’s books joining the alternative fairy tale party. I am excited by this and frankly, we couldn’t be happier. These stories are creative, fun, and sometimes laugh out loud funny.

So get ready for something new yet familiar at the same time. These books are sure to delight both you and your children.
