This story is very funny. It takes fairy tales and fables like Chicken Licken, Jack and the Bean Stalk, The Ugly Duckling, and fractures them. This story is set up like a chapter book and the Table of Contents even becomes part of the story. The words can be found going in different directions - swirls, upside down, very large, and very small. The fairy tales end up being twisted into each others stories and the narrator Jack enjoys messing with the stories and words on the page.This is a combination of chapter book and picture book. The pictures are made by collage and are very funny when added with the fractured fairy tales. Some pages have no illustrations or the characters have been cut out of the background and placed somewhere else. This is a very interesting book and there is a lot to look at and discover.
