Synopsis
Herb loves reading but hasn't always treated his books kindly. One night, he falls asleep and finds himself inside his fairy tale book, facing an irate Goldilocks, a displeased Cinderella, and a queen sporting a moustache he drew. Herb's mischievous doodles and cut-outs have wreaked havoc in the stories. To set things right and escape, he must navigate through the chaotic tales, learning the importance of respecting books along the way.
