Fearless Fairy Tales: The perfect book for homeschooling fun and inspiration

Product Information

Meet Trumplestiltskin, a vain and gold-obsessed little man who will stop at nothing to become richer and richer. There’s Sleeping Brainy, the princess whose only dream is to become Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Gingerbread Kid, who escapes persecution in his home country but struggles to fit in in his new one. Packed with stories about boys who aren’t afraid to cry and rhymes about girls who refuse to kiss frogs, FEARLESS FAIRY TALES shakes up dusty, old-fashioned (and, to be honest, rather sexist) bedtime stories and totally reinvents them for the twenty-first century. If you're worried that your children experience a lack of female role models in the worlds of science, politics, the arts, history, sport and technology, worry no more!

Told in the fresh, vibrant and unique voice of Blue Peter favourite Konnie Huq, writing with James Kay, and packed full of irresistible illustrations by Rikin Parekh, FEARLESS FAIRY TALES is the perfect gift for young readers (and older readers fed up with serving their kids the same old boring bedtime stories).Told in the fresh, vibrant and unique voice of Blue Peter favourite Konnie Huq, writing with James Kay, and packed full of irresistible illustrations by Rikin Parekh, FEARLESS FAIRY TALES is the perfect hardback gift for young readers (and older readers fed up with serving their kids the same old boring bedtime stories).

It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. i bought this to read to my beaver colony but obviously had to test run it (after the mistake a few years ago thinking the harry potter fairy tale one would be suitable 🙈).

The stories are funny and characters are not typical stereotypes such as a damsels in distress that are saved by brave handsome princes.

At school he was voted 'least likely to become Prime Minister' and he's on course for this to be the case. Whilst my four-year-old enjoyed being read to, I think children aged 8+ (or whenever they're confident readers) will get the most from the book.
