Book Description

An action-packed storytelling adventure that flips the traditional fairy tale on its head. When it's time for Jamie's bedtime story, his dad begins to tell an age-old fairy tale about a prince in a faraway land full of dragons, wolves and princesses in distress. Inquisitive Jamie can't help but add to his dad's story, and the prince is soon joined by an evil-eyed witch who turns people to jelly, a broccoli-wielding ninja frog and a jewel-thief, lock-picking princess. It may not be the story Dad set out to tell, but together, he and Jamie create something much more energetic and hilarious than they could have alone.

Book Description

An action-packed adventure that will inspire parents and children to embark on their very own storytelling journeys together. When Jamie and his Dad create a bedtime story, a predictable fairy tale soon transforms into an energetic, hilarious story of bears and princes jostling with broccoli-wielding frogs, evil-eyed ninja witches and jewel thief princesses. It's a clever form that makes for some very funny moments, allowing us to see the characters respond to Jamie's alterations as they flit through multiple costume changes and plot twists. This is a story that also presents a challenge to gender stereotypes fairy tale tropes. The princess in distress bursts out of her own cell to save the day - she doesn't need a prince to save her! The book's diverse cast of characters also fully represents today's multicultural society.
