Following on the success of The DK Book of Nursery Rhymes, Debi Gliori has applied her wit and paintbrush to familiar bedtime tales such as "The Little Red Hen," "The Lion and the Mouse," and eight other favorites. Painted with sweet humor and a special care for the details children love, these ever-so-slightly-twisted tales are updated favorites sure to please parents who grew up with them and their children who are hearing them for the first time.

Everyone stays in character; there are no anachronisms, no illogical jumps in understanding, and the protagonists are normal and believable people.
