''Could you please be more careful--you're drooling on my cape,'' says D.W. to the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood. ''Lucky I'm not afraid of heights,'' proclaims Francine as she climbs to the top of the mattresses in The Princess and the Pea. Master weaver Arthur has the last laugh in The Emperor's New Clothes. Each short, fun-to-read story has just the right mixture of the familiar tales with the contemporary spin of Arthur and his friends. The Frog Prince, The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, and others round out this big, heavily illustrated bonanza for parents. Description text copyright 2011 BooksForComfort. Item ID 24657.
