The Worst Bedtime Stories Ever

Some bedtime stories promise sweet dreams. Miss Edwina Tattleby makes no such promises. Welcome to The Worst Bedtime Stories Ever: seven mischievous tales for children who like their magic unreliable, their adventures absurd, and their narrators just a little badly behaved. Miss Tattleby has assembled a collection of spectacularly questionable offerings. There is a supposedly not-magical-at-all story, a thoroughly disgusting one, a most miserable one, and even a story that has the nerve to call itself boring. Somewhere among them, the World's Tiniest Fairy has a great deal to live up to. Expect peculiar characters, unexpected turns, gloriously ridiculous situations, and a storyteller who has quite a lot to say for herself. These tales play with fairy-tale expectations and invite young readers to enjoy the joke-especially when the grown-up reading aloud has to say the disgusting bits. Written for readers aged 7-10 and families who enjoy sharing longer stories, this collection combines playful language, oddball fantasy, and a generous helping of mischief. Get comfortable. Pull up the covers. Miss Tattleby is about to begin.You have been warned.
