Synopsis
It's just an ordinary day at Mother Goose's Academy. There's Miss Good Fairy teaching the Three Little Pigs, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood to read and write, while Miss Bad Fairy is inciting the Ugly Sisters, the Big Bad Wolf, Troll, Wicked Stepmother, Wicked Witch and Jealous Queen to gobble them all up. The result? Chaos!
Review
This story starts in school classroom - all the charactors are from nursery rhymes that we know and love.
They are great! The wolf can not add up how many people he has eaten so how does he know when he is full! The ugly sisters sit there pulling the other's hair! The troll goes up to sleeping beauty and wants to pounce but the dinner lady stops him! The choice today is turkey and peas or snakes and snails!!
The fun in the classroom is that the witches learn to build gingerbread houses, the wolf learns to disguise himself, and the ugly sisters learn to be more mean to everyone else!
This book and tape are brought to life by Simon Russell Beale's hilarious rendition especially his different voices as we meet lots of favourite people. But they have all been muddled up in this story of the school who has all the charactors in a wonderful mixed up chaos of "Fairy Tale School"
Don't Cook Cinderella is fantastic and so hilarious as the infants class try to stop the big class from getting into mischief. The little ones go to a good fairy and complain about the children in the big class under the bad fairy! Has anything happened just wait till the end it is great!
Yet another story for the children to listen into in the car. Well done Francesca.
