“All parents know the frustration of wanting/needing their children to go to sleep! In this hilarious book we see one father’s bedtime strategy of abridging classic fairy-tales. The willful child and the desperate daddy are sure to delight young and old alike!”

When a princess makes some lemonade, she starts a chain of events involving a fire-breathing dragon, one hundred rabbits, a hungry giant, and a handsome knight.

Liz says:

“This is a clever, rapid-fire fairy-tale told backwards with a whimsical cause and effect storyline. My 6-year-old daughter loves to read it out loud.”
