Book Review with MyChild!
Books are critically important in our family – the saying around here goes, “I am always willing to spend money on books and Legos.” As a refresher, MyChild is 8-years-old, in second grade, reads on her own, and her current favorite books to read are the DogMan series and the Pig the Pug books.

Our Review:
Mom: I’ve made it pretty clear that I love a good retelling of a classic story. I also really enjoy graphic novels and comic books. This collection combines the best of both of these!
MyChild: I like how the author used real fairy tales and then added things to mix it up a little. It makes it really fun. My favorite story was Ninja-rella because I like ninjas and princesses and this story had both.
My second favorite was Hansel and Gretel and Zombies because if was funny when they turned the witch into a zombie and became friends with her. The drawings of the zombies were really cool.
Mom: My favorite story was Ninja-rella – the retelling of Cinderella. I also really enjoyed the pages immediately following each story that provided the basis of the original tale, along with how this updated various changed things a bit, and drew a direct line between the original character and the updated character in these far out tales.
