Overview

Some fairy tales are too silly. Others are too serious. But when the Muppets meet the classics? The stories are just right! Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and the other Muppets as they bring favorite fairy tales to life in their own hilarious way.

Once upon a time, there was a pretty young chicken named Camillarella, who had very heavy shoes and an enchanting Chicken Dance. Or maybe you'd prefer to hear the story of Janice, the flower child with braided tresses as yellow as SpongeBob. With all the favorite characters—Kermit, Miss Piggy, and others—these fairy tales give a whole new meaning to the word "classic."

" . . . this book delivers raucous retellings of classic tales, modernized for today's savvy readers."—School Library Connection, Jenny MacKay
