I bet you think you know this story.
You don’t. The real one’s much more gory.

AS SEEN ON BBC ONE

From Jack in the Beanstalk, Goldilocks and the Three Bears to Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs, wicked beasts, brazen crooks and a ghastly giant star in these hilarious nursery rhymes with BITE!

I loved this book! I liked that Red Riding Hood was included twice. I thought that the way that all the traditional fairy tales and nursery rhymes were completely changed was brilliant and it inspired me to write a few of my own revolting rhymes too!

I have seen this book as 2 tv animations and I wanted to read the book. I like the short stories based on fairy tales and how they are a bit nasty and revolting in parts . I read this book with my mummy and I stood up and read out loud to really hear how the rhyming tells the story I also like the pictures

A selection of grim fairytales not like you've read before.

My favourite character was Cinderella because it was really funny and is different to the original Cinderella story and all the stories rhyme.

It’s not very nice. Change the nice parts about people stories. I like Snow White the best I was just curious about what it said and what would it mean? I wouldn’t want to recommend this book

I Liked the rhyme of red riding hood the best because she was tough and brave and the story was very unexpected and hilarious. Yes I’d recommend it to my friends and even grown-ups.

It was funny when Little Miss Riding Hood shot the pig and made the pigskin into a case. It is a very funny book.

I didn’t enjoy this book that much- there were a lot of words in each one and I got bored
