TaleSpins by Michael Mullin

I loved TaleSpins! The stories are cute and funny - each putting a different twist on classic characters. I thought each one would be my favorite until I started to read the next. The Eighth dwarf was well named (in many ways), and I loved his interactions. The Princess Poppy was just a great character, and this new version of Jack and the Beakstalk really had you thinking.
The writing style is part of what made this book so wonderful. Told lyrically, like a nursery rhyme, you couldn't help but keep reading and the pages flew by. I would recommend this to fairy tale lovers, or anyone who is just looking for something a little different. - See more at: http://hotofftheshelves.blogspot.com/2014/01/book-tour-review-and-giveaway-tale.html#sthash.PkZMHfZd.dpuf
