New Picture Book Series: The Other Side of the Story



This new series--The Other Side of the Story--launched last month with four titles. Yes, it is inspired by The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and its imitators. But it looks fun and modern and plays with some classroom favorites, so here we go....


Honestly, Red Riding Hood Was Rotten!; The Story of Little Red Riding Hood as Told by the Wolf (The Other Side of the Story) by Trisha Speed Shaskan and illustrated by Gerald Guerlais.

OF COURSE you think I did a horrible thing by eating Little Red Riding Hood and her granny. You don't know the other side of the story. Well, let me tell you...


Seriously, Cinderella Is SO Annoying!; The Story of Cinderella as Told by the Wicked Stepmother (The Other Side of the Story) by Trisha Sue Speed Shaskan and illustrated by Gerald Guerlais.

OF COURSE you think Cinderella was the sweetest belle of the ball. You don't know the other side of the story. Well, let me tell you...


Trust Me, Jack's Beanstalk Stinks!;The Story of Jack and the Beanstalk as told by the Giant (The Other Side of the Story) by Eric Mark Braun and illustrated by Cristian Bernardini.

OF COURSE you think I was the bad guy, terrifying poor little Jack. You don't know the other side of the story. Well, let me tell you...


Believe Me, Goldilocks Rocks!; The Story of the Three Bears as Told by Baby Bear (The Other Side of the Story) by Nancy Jean Loewen and illustrated by Tatevik Avakyan.

OF COURSE you think Goldilocks was a brat who broke in and trashed our house. You don't know the other side of the story. Well, let me tell you...

  1. Those picture books look quite entertaining. I wouldn't mind sitting down in the children's section of my local bookstore to read those :)
