February 26 is National Tell a Fairy Tale Day, so we’re celebrating with quirky and fun books that retell the stories of familiar fairy tale characters.
Some, like Cendrillion and Dragon Prince, are adaptations of fairy tales from around the world. Others, like Trust Me, Jack’s Beanstalk Stinks and Falling for Rapunzel, turn the stories we know and love upside down.
We hope you enjoy reading these new twists on classic tales with your toddlers and preschoolers. Happy National Tell a Fairy Tale Day!
