| Summary |
Grandpa playfully recounts a familiar fairytale--or his version, at least--to his granddaughter, and try as she might to get him back on track, he keeps on adding things to the mix, resulting in an unpredictable tale that comes alive as it is being told. |
|
ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a young girl called Little Yellow Riding Hood. Or maybe it was Red? Little REd Riding Hood? Grandpa keeps mixing things up. But what fun it is! Not only does his granddaughter get to correct him, but in the process they create a really great story, too! Telling Stories Wrong, written by Gianni Rodari, widely considered the father of modern Italian children's literature, is illustrated here with great affection by artist Beatrice Alemagna, who counts Rodari as one of her "spiritual fathers." --- Back of book. |
