Overall series review:
I decided to do an overall review for the latest five books I have read in this series. The books are fantastic. They take you past the fairy tales we all read and grew up reading and adds in some real life problems that kids and adults face today. They're simple books, great for kids who like humor and fairy tales.

Also, the extra goodies in the back are great for book clubs, teachers, and librarians. Each book has a glossary of terms, writing prompts and discussion questions. Definitely a set of books that elementary teachers and librarians may want to look into.

Recommended for 3rd Grade and up.
