Brief description:
Like Hansel and Gretel, Josh Funk doesn't like being told how stories should go--so he writes his own. He is the author of a bunch of picture books, including the popular Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast series, illustrated by Brendan Kearney, and recently, How to Code a Sandcastle, illustrated by Sara Palacios, and Lost in the Library: A Story of Patience & Fortitude, illustrated by Stevie Lewis. He lives in New England with his wife and children. Learn more about him at www.joshfunkbooks.com and follow him on Twitter @joshfunkbooks.
Review Quotes:
"Taylor's digital illustrations take the loony text several steps farther, and readers will enjoy the cameos from characters from other familiar tales...A twisted take on an old standard that just may have readers rewriting their own favorites." --Kirkus Reviews
