Grumbles from the Forest: Fairy-Tale Voices with a Twist Yolen Jane
What were all those fairy-tale characters thinking? The Princess claims all those mattresses kept her awake--not a silly pea--while the poor pea complains that the princess snores. Jane Yolen and Rebecca Kai Dotlich answer this question in paired poems, with sometimes startling results.
Another boldly tells the mirror she "won't be guided by a glass that's so one-sided." Grumbles from the Forest is a bewitching brew of voices--grumbling, pleading, bragging, reminiscing, confiding--that bubbles with magic and wonder. One Snow White begs the witch to settle by the bay and throw that mirror away. The spectacular paintings that tie the poems together are full of surprise and intrigue.
