Written by Ian Lendler · Illustrated by Whitney Martin
Read too fast, and this fairy tale's pictures and costumes can't keep up.
A pie-making princess is trapped in a tower, and a knight sets out to rescue her while wearing a tutu. The narrator begs readers to slow down, because every time the page turns too quickly, the illustrator can't finish the pictures and costumes in time, and the happily-ever-after starts going hilariously haywire.
Now, Ned and I admire how well you read. But the story will be ruined if you turn the page right now. So please don't. A beautiful pie-making princess is trapped in a tower. Can Sir Wilbur rescue her? And more importantly, can he do it while wearing a tutu? He's going to try! But if you read the story too quickly, Ned won't be able to make the pictures or costumes in time. And happily-ever-after may start to go a bit haywire. Join Ian Lendler and Whitney Martin for a fairy tale that takes off into hilarious uncharted territory -- all because you won't slow down!
