When you can capture a child's imagination from the first page, you know you're on to something and this original idea based on classic fairy-tales does just that...Great fun * The Sun * Rosen's had a nice idea: the characters write to a fairy godmother in the hope that she will rewrite history. And she does, with comic twists: the gingerbread man sloshes on aftershave to avoid being eaten, the three bears pour salt into their porridge, and the three pigs drive a wolf-proof armoured car. Happy endings all round. -- Kate Kellaway * Observer * With Nick Sharratt's colourful lift-the-flap pictures underlining each punchline, children will love the story twists. * Junior *
