The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by John Sciezka

Summary: A collection of parodies of classic fairy tales.

As a child I remember looking at this book questioningly at the book fair. It sounded crude and the boys seemed to like it. One day the school librarian read it to us and I realized the boys were right; it is a very funny book. It helps to know classic fairy tales before reading this collection of “fractured fairy tales,” a newly named genre for traditional fairy tales told in a different way.
