Bookroo's summary

Tired of his role, the Big Bad Wolf abandons the Three Little Pigs to find a new fairy tale. But wearing Cinderella's gown, climbing Jack's beanstalk, and enduring a prince's kiss in Sleeping Beauty aren't quite right. As he leaps from story to story, fairy tales unravel into a delightful mess. Can the wolf find his perfect fit, or will he forever disrupt these beloved tales? Join the adventure and spot familiar characters in this whimsical, mixed-up fairy tale journey.

From the publisher

The Big Bad Wolf is fed up with blowing down the Three Little Pigs’ houses. So off he goes in search of a new fairy tale to be in! Wearing the ball gown in Cinderella didn’t work because “wolves don’t wear dresses!”, climbing up the beanstalk and seeing the giant’s huge feet scared the wolf, and “yuck” getting kissed by the prince in Sleeping Beauty is not for the wolf at all! As the wolf runs from page to page the whole book of fairy tales becomes a great mixed-up mess! Children will enjoy spotting all of their favorite characters in this hilarious twisted-fairy tale adventure!
