The Gingerbread Man
by Jim Aylesworth, Barbara McClintock (Illustrator)
A brand new edition of a classic story. Simply gorgeous. If you buy it, here's a guaranteed recipe for laughs: Read it to a child around the holidays. Then bake some real gingerbread people. When they're ready, take one out of the oven and offer it to the child. When he or she reaches for it, pull it away and start running around the house, chanting "Run, run, as fast as you can..."

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
by Jon Scieszka, Lane Smith (Illustrator)
The Brothers Grimm meet Monty Python! If this book doesn't make you burst out laughing with its satires of famous folk tales, lock yourself in a closet and live among the coats and moth balls, there's no hope.

The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales
by The Brothers Grimm, Josef Scharl (Illustrator)
If you're interested in fairy tales, this book is the beginning and the end. One of the great treasures of western civilization. There's no excuse not to have a copy, and if you have children, it's positively criminal.

| JAMES MARSHALL BOOKS
Here are four classic fairy tales retold and illustrated by James Marshall. James Marshall is not nearly as famous as he deserves to be, as one glance at these books will prove. He is one of the great comic children's artists working today. A genius on the order of Dr. Seuss. (His retelling of "Old Mother Hubbard" is listed on my Nursery Rhymes page.)
