Starred Review for Publishers Weekly (Thu Apr 28 00:00:00 CDT 2022)

The stories of Cinderella, Goldilocks, The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood unspool in "verses featuring mayhem, greed, betrayals and murder, from two gifted collaborators," wrote <EMPHASIS TYPE=""ITALIC"">PW. Ages 8-up. <EMPHASIS TYPE=""ITALIC"">(Mar.)

Horn Book (Thu Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2002)

As with any of Dahl's creations, delivered with dimensions appealing to both adult and child, the usual caveat emptor applies to these admittedly remarkable and undoubtedly mischievous rhymes. This edition of six fairy tales includes an interview with the author.
