This lavishly illustrated choose-your-own adventure book will appeal to elementary-aged students through adults。 Although it looks like a picture book， the humor is geared towards older kids， and some of the illustrations and story elements are quite scary。 This leans into some of the morbid elements of the fairy tales it riffs on， while also creating new plot lines that tie them together。 The author designed this very well， and there are a multitude of different paths to take。 I read them all， This lavishly illustrated choose-your-own adventure book will appeal to elementary-aged students through adults。 Although it looks like a picture book， the humor is geared towards older kids， and some of the illustrations and story elements are quite scary。 This leans into some of the morbid elements of the fairy tales it riffs on， while also creating new plot lines that tie them together。 The author designed this very well， and there are a multitude of different paths to take。 I read them all， and I enjoyed the book， but the rhyming text is very stilted at times。 The style fits with the fairy tale theme， but some of the lines are so forced that I think this would have been stronger in regular prose。 。。。more

I would recommend to read the physical book， it was difficult reading it as an ebook and I did not enjoy it as much as I probably should have。

I read this book with my children and they loved it。 They loved choosing different paths and made me read it until we have picked every option。

My students can't get enough of this book。 The love the anticipation with each decision。 They love going back and trying a different series of choices to see what adventure results。 Their enthusiasm spikes when we take this out and when we hit an ending， they beg for more。 EVERY time。 My students can't get enough of this book。 The love the anticipation with each decision。 They love going back and trying a different series of choices to see what adventure results。 Their enthusiasm spikes when we take this out and when we hit an ending， they beg for more。 EVERY time。 。。。more

This is good for the right child。 It is a little more frightening than I expected。 I was eaten by wolves and attacked by the three pigs and died in two of my choices during my first few attempts at choosing my own fairy tale。 This is not for an easily frightened child。 The format is fun and unique。 Santat makes wonderful pictures even of scary wolves。 I did enjoy it， but there are children that I immediately thought don't give that to this child。 This is good for the right child。 It is a little more frightening than I expected。 I was eaten by wolves and attacked by the three pigs and died in two of my choices during my first few attempts at choosing my own fairy tale。 This is not for an easily frightened child。 The format is fun and unique。 Santat makes wonderful pictures even of scary wolves。 I did enjoy it， but there are children that I immediately thought don't give that to this child。 。。。more

I love ‘choose your own adventure’ style books！ This one is beautifully illustrated and has a nice flow to it with a few rhyming lines of story followed by the options on where to take the story。 I can’t wait to read this one with my nieces and nephews！

So much fun！ Spent a rainy Sunday afternoon choosing my own path from 85 pages of magnificent storytelling and engaging illustrations。 The classic characters and storylines （Red Riding Hood， Big Bad Wolf， 3 Little Pigs， Snow White， and MANY more） transform into an ever-changing adventure that will have readers laughing out loud and turning page after page to change their destinies。A must buy for my classroom library。

This was so fun！ I read this with my kids and we did several paths each night and it still took us 4 days to get to all the endings。 There are so many more possibilities than I thought there could be in a book of this length。 As always， Santat’s illustrations are amazing。 We really had fun with this。 I highly recommend it！

Interesting take on the traditional fairy-tales。 This "Choose your adventure" mixes and matches multiple stories。 Depending on your path - you die or you keep going。 There is some violence - so maybe not for the younger crowd- but for older readers who are familiar with the fairytales， there could be hours of fun reading ahead。Not great for a read aloud - more for a single reader or paired reading。 Interesting take on the traditional fairy-tales。 This "Choose your adventure" mixes and matches multiple stories。 Depending on your path - you die or you keep going。 There is some violence - so maybe not for the younger crowd- but for older readers who are familiar with the fairytales， there could be hours of fun reading ahead。Not great for a read aloud - more for a single reader or paired reading。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I know this will be an unpopular opinion， but I didn't care for this book。 It didn't read as light and funny to me， it read as spooky。 Not over-the-top， but enough that it could be scary to young kids。 It is like a traditional Choose Your Own Adventure book in that if you choose poorly， you die。Also， requiring the young girl to kiss the grown woman princess on the lips to advance to finish the "full story" was upsetting。 I know that won't bother everyone， but it did bother me。 If I had been read I know this will be an unpopular opinion， but I didn't care for this book。 It didn't read as light and funny to me， it read as spooky。 Not over-the-top， but enough that it could be scary to young kids。 It is like a traditional Choose Your Own Adventure book in that if you choose poorly， you die。Also， requiring the young girl to kiss the grown woman princess on the lips to advance to finish the "full story" was upsetting。 I know that won't bother everyone， but it did bother me。 If I had been reading this to my kid， it would have been a very unpleasant surprise and we would have stopped reading。 。。。more

Oh my gosh there is so much to love about this book！ It's a choose-your-own adventure picture book -- 85 pages of such wonderful storytelling and vibrant illustrations。 My 6 and 8 year old are loving this so much and want to read it again and again， making different choices along the way to see if they get a new storyline。 There are just enough variations to make it interesting and invite children to revisit it again and again; and， there are enough choices where it will take awhile before they Oh my gosh there is so much to love about this book！ It's a choose-your-own adventure picture book -- 85 pages of such wonderful storytelling and vibrant illustrations。 My 6 and 8 year old are loving this so much and want to read it again and again， making different choices along the way to see if they get a new storyline。 There are just enough variations to make it interesting and invite children to revisit it again and again; and， there are enough choices where it will take awhile before they start to really memorize "oh， the wolf eats Rosie if we go that way！" It's so fun and wonderfully inviting。The illustrations are perfect for the fairytale genre， but modernized and include an inclusive cast of characters。 The storylines use familiar characters and fairytales -- the big bad wolf， the three little pigs， Sleeping Beauty， Snow White， Hansel and Gretel。 This book take a hilarious and unique take on those fairy tales， too， so children will be delightfully surprised with what they encounter and what choices they are presented with！ The lyrical rhyming text also makes this out to be a nice book to read aloud。 My one complaint is that some pages have a LOT more text than others so it doesn't always feel in-rhythm when you are reading it。 You might have a lot of words to read before your child gets to make their choice on which page to turn to next， and if you read this a lot that might get a little tired。Overall， I feel this is wonderful， unique， and kid-approved！**Note: I was given a review copy of this book via Chronicle Books。 Opinions are my own。 。。。more
