Usually, that’s how a story finishes. But not this one. It begins with a grand, satisfying "happily ever after". This book spins through a tale of a princess and lemonade, a dragon and bunnies, a flying teacup and a hungry giant, and a mysterious bag of gold. And it ends … when pigs fly.

Review

This unusual book is just right for young kids who like quirky and wacky ideas. It begins with the end of the story and then works its way back to the beginning. Each subsequent page asks the reader to guess what brought about the twist in the story. Why was the knight on fire? … because he tried to tickle a dragon!

More offbeat ideas abound with giant tomatoes, numerous bunnies and one hungry giant.
