Fairytale Cakes: 17 Enchanted Creations
Noga Hitron
Lark Books, 2008
good book....not exactly what I was looking for
First off the book starts out with recipes for cakes, frosting and how to make your own fondant, I thought that was a great detail in the book. The directions were well written to make the figurines for each cake. Some of the bigger projects actually had patterns in ...

JATS Fairytale Classics: Goldilocks and Three Bears (Jats 8x8)
tk
Hyperion Book CH, 2004
Wonderful!!! Better than the traditional version!
This may be my favorite JATS fairy tale. The ending is a nice twist where Goldilocks learns an appropriate lesson without any scary consequences for breaking & entering the bears' cottage.

American Gods
Neil Gaiman
HarperTorch, 2002
A deep understanding
Neil Gaiman understands something about the collective unconscious and the way Gods form within it. He also knows something about the way these Gods interact. I think the reason his books resonate with so many (I mean heck there are more than 700 reviews on this site ...

JATS Fairytale Classics: Beauty and the Beast (Jump at the Sun Fairy-Tale Classics)
tk
Hyperion Book CH, 2007
I love these books
We love the "Jump at the Sun" books. I have bought almost all of them for my 4 year old daughter. She is at the age when she is *so* enchanted with all things "princess," and I am so sick of the lily-white Disney ones. Having these fairy-tales told with ...

JATS Fairytale Classics: Rapunzel (Jump at the Sun Fairy-Tale Classics)
Hyperion Book CH, 2007
Very good
My daughter (who can't read yet) LOVES this book, mainly due to the colorful pictures. The two children appearing is interesting, but not enough for my child to be astonished or get in a tizzy over it. There are single parents in this world, and this is a book that ...

JATS Fairytale Classics: Cinderella (Jats 8x8)

Hyperion Book CH, 2004
Jump at the Sun:Cinderella
This is one of my favorites of this book series because it makes the whole princess stage that all little girls go through accessible to little girls of color. My four year old loves seeing that a princess can look like her. I was thrilled to find this book.

Zoë Marriott
Candlewick, 2008
lovely
I have maybe five books on display in my room. Because I want people to see my favs, and so they're in easy reach. As soon as I read the last word on the last page I cleared a new space for it in my room. Then I picked it up and read it again.
I've heard a lot of ...

Wonderland: A Fairytale of the Soviet Monolith
Jason Eskenazi
de.MO, 2008
The story of Communism is the story of the twentieth century. For many, the Soviet Union existed, like their childhood, as a fairy tale where many of the realities of life were hidden from plain view. When the Berlin Wall finally fell, so too did the illusion of that utopia. Wonderland is a photographic exploration that portrays both the reality ...

Hyperion Book CH, 2004
Wonderful
I think this book is great, as usual with Raisin in the Sun. I have a daughter, but think this may be better for boys. (She's at that stage). I really find it quite interesting the amount of negative feedback because of a word here or there. This is part of reality, ...

Nightmares & Fairytales Volume 3: 1140 Rue Royale (Nightmares & Fairy Tales) (Nightmares & Fairy Tales)
Serena Valentino
SLG Publishing, 2007
Amazing!
This artwork is so much better than the first two, it fits the story much better than the old artist would've. And the story is really a good ghost story. I like that the story is several chapters long and not different stories every chapter.

Naughty Fairytales from A to Z
Alison Tyler
Plume, 2004
Great foreplay, not much action
This is a wonderful and sensual book that can be great to get you in the mood with your lover. The majority of the stories can create excitement, although a couple weren't much of a turn on at all. As far as the stories go, almost all of them are written as good ...

Darwinian Fairytales: Selfish Genes, Errors of Heredity, and Other Fables of Evolution
David Stove
Encounter Books, 2007
Dawkins ridiculed....
Dawkins' "memes" and "selfish genes" have been critically scrutinized in a brilliant and amusing way ("intelligent" genes smarter and more manipulative than humans?). Stove writes: "I try to think of what, or anyone, could say to Dawkins, to help restrain him from ...
