The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales

Product Information

And if you don't think that's fairly stupid, you should read "Little Red Riding Shorts" or maybe "The Stinky Cheese Man." Postmodernism: It, along with The True Story of the Three Little Pigs (also by Scieszka and Smith), were arguably two of the first postmodernist picture books. Except for the illustrations. The illustrations kind of freak me out, in a Picasso-cubist sort of way. In this fourth wall-breaking picture book, young readers will delight in the strange twists on familiar tales. From “The Stinky Cheese Man” to “Cinderummpelstiltskin” these unique, hilarious retellingspoke fun at classic stories and characters. The wonderfully offbeat and bizarre illustrations, as well as innovative play with typography and book design, make for a one-of-kind masterpiece from two powerhouse children’s book creators. Tempting Fate: At the end, when the Little Red Hen is going off on another tirade about how no one helped her bake the bread or tell her story, she then asks: "Who thinks they're going to help me EAT the BREAD?" The Giant does when her shouting wakes him up. With her in between the slices.

Gwen: (Exasperated): Because it was a real story that people already made... Not real like it was a true story... but aaaahhhhh... This is hard to explain. The stories were already told before, and the author changed it a little, and made it like them, but funnier. ...And sillier. ...And goofier... The book is a picture book but with lots of different fairy tales that have been twisted and warped into a fabulous and hilarious read. I mean, maybe something with a little more humor or wit? Then again, my mom read one of these little stories and laughed out loud, so it's definitely a hit or miss thing. The grand narrative has lost its credibility, regardless of what mode of unification it uses, regardless of whether it is a speculative narrative or a narrative of emancipation.”
