Take three favorite fairy tales, add monsters, stir well...and what do you get? "Monster Stew," of course! This flavorful mix is packed with irreverent new versions of beloved stories. How does a girl monster impress a prince and his parents when she's invited to visit-and sleep on a tower of mattresses? What happens when Jack cuts down the beanstalk-and leaves the monster from the castle stranded down on the ground? What does a witch do when two plump young monsters start eating her out of gingerbread house and home? With zany stories and lush, riotous illustrations, "Monster Stew" is a delightful dish for young readers.
