Critic reviews

"The entire book, with its unconventional page arrangement and eclectic, frenetic mix of text and pictures, is a spoof on the art of book design and the art of the fairy tale."—Horn Book

"Irrepressibly zany and fun."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Featured Article: The top 100 kids books of all time


Listening to a story is the first way that we’re introduced to books as kids. And while our parents and grandparents (and babysitters and siblings!) are no doubt wonderful narrators who left indelible marks on our bookish hearts, the performances featured on this list elevate these stories to new heights. Representing listens for kids ages 0-12, and featuring animals, magical creatures, awkward middle schoolers, and more, our kids essentials will help you rediscover the magic of childhood.

A fairly stupid, although very funny collection of stories for everyone to enjoy

If you like fairy tales, then you are sure to laugh out loud when you listen to Scieszka’s collection of fairly stupid tales.

I liked all the different voices Mike used in narrating the different stories and characters as well as Jack the Narrator. Some of my favorite chapters or stories include “The Princess and the Bowling Ball” and “Jack’s Bean Problem.”

Some of Jon Scieszka’s other books I also recommend you should read include The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, The Frog Prince...Continued and the Time Warp Trio series.

Favorite of all time!

I first read this book almost 20 years ago. So cool to find it on Audible. The narration is great and the stories are hilarious. Must find the hardback. The pictures are unique and funny. Incredible book from my youth.
