What is Title Page (for the Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales) about?

A gloriously topsy-turvy collection of fairy-tale spoofs, where familiar stories go wonderfully wrong. Chicken Licken causes a commotion, a princess faces an unexpected bowling ball, the Ugly Duckling turns out even uglier, and Jack struggles with a very troublesome beanstalk. With cheeky narrators, surprising endings, playful typography and illustrations that refuse to behave, Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith invite readers to laugh at the rules of storytelling—and enjoy tales that are proudly, hilariously, fairly stupid.
