Twisted Tales
You will never read a fairy tale the same way after you read this hilarious collection of six stories told by the so-called villains, innocent bystanders and other victims of fairytale crime. A kind and friendly but very hungry wolf, a lizard who is horrified to be turned into a footman (whatever that is), a grumpy princess who can''t sleep, a slightly deaf king, a witch who runs the Happy Healthy Holiday Home, and a cow whose ploppies turn out to be magic after all ... These stories have to be read to be appreciated! Just like in Beastly Tales, here we have Richard Tulloch writing at his best for younger readers: he''s a master of turning a story on its head to create something completely new. Quirky, funny, and full of rhyming, alliteration and word play that will captivate beginner readers, Twisted Tales is a collection of stories that will delight parents and young children.

Storymaze 2: The Eye of Ulam

release date: Aug 01, 2001
Storymaze 2: The Eye of Ulam
200 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STORYMAZE 2 The Eye of Ulam 1. It is written and illustrated by the FUNNIEST MAN in a small part of the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. 2. It is a COMIC EXTRAVAGANZA printed with soy sauce on dolphin-free recycled tuna flesh pages. 3. It contains drawings by an ILLUSTRATOR with NO FORMAL TRAINING. 4. It is the second in a series of 12 books ... But I warn you, I may not get around to writing the others because I am a busy man (the busiest man in the southern hemisphere) (and maybe I have better things to do). 5. The word ''STORYMAZE'' describes a combination of a story and a maze. It has 9 letters. So does the word ''DOGCATFLY'' and the word ''CATDOGCAR'' and the word ''DOGDOGDOG''. 6. A rogue iceberg that escaped from Nell Smith''s fridge in 1902 smashed into a bridge in Nepal killing 328 penguins. 7. If you have ever wanted to travel to parallel universes, this is the book for you. It contains a lot of factual information that will assist you. 8. + 9. The person sitting next to you is an idiot. If there is no one sitting next to you then you are an idiot. 200. Because this book is printed on tuna flesh, when you have finished reading it, you can feed it to your cat. If your cat won''t eat it, then it is an alien dressed as a cat!

Storymaze 6: The Obelisk of Eeeno
If you like calm, sensible, fluffy stories, then GO AWAY! Because this is a story about a LUMP OF ROCK!! The dialogue is not very interesting because lumps of rock don t talk! I bet you didn t know that. I bet you thought all the rocks and little stones chatted amongst themselves when you were not around. Well, it s not true. But here are 22 things that are true: 2 An obelisk is a piece of rock. A long thin pointy piece of rock. 4 The planet EEENO is just a piece of rock floating in space. 6 A parallel universe is really another-other piece of rock, just like the other piece of rock, but in the wrong place. 8 An author is just a piece of rock with a laptop. 10 Nell Smith had a dog, called Spot. Spot used to leave little rocks all around the garden. Little smelly rocks. 12 An obelisk is a big, fat, dumb, French comic-strip character. 14 Nico s favourite rock group is the Red Hot Chili Pebbles. 16 My mum s favourite actor was Rock Hudson. 18 He had rocks in his head. 20 So did my mum. 22 So do you.

Storymaze 1: The Ultimate Wave
OK! So you''re not sure whether you want to read this book or not. I''M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU''RE MISSING OUT ON if you don''t read it. (You won''t believe me anyway.)(Besides I haven''t read it.) I''m not going to tell you how FUNNY this BOOK is or that it was not TESTED ON ANIMALS or that 16 DOLPHINS DIED when the forests were cut down to make the paper for this book. I''m not GOING TO tell you that this book is about SURFING and that it contains a story with heroes of either SEX; it looks at parallel universes, BLOOD, VIOLENCE and stuff. (If read backwards it makes no sense at all.) The Venuzuelan Tribune said: ''We don''t like books with lots of pictures!'' The Daily Bugle said: ''Why bother reading it? None of it''s real.'' The Flying Scotsman wrote: ''I read it from cover to cover but didn''t worry about the bit in between.'' The Egyptian Mummy wrote: ''I was wrapped!''
