The Fairy Tale Twists books make are perfect if you've got little ones moving on from picture books and into the magical world of independent reading. We could not recommend this series more for readers aged 7+ who love a funny fairy tale.
Each book in the series is the story of a well-known fairy tale, from Goldilocks and The Big, Bad Wolf to the Fairy Godmother and Jack on the Beanstalk. But these stories all have a hilarious twist, and will shed a whole new light on the fairy tales you thought you knew so well! Each book is told through a character's point of view, and written in fantastically funny rhymes, making for a great stepping stone towards chapter books.
You do not have to read these books in any particular order, so just dive in with your favourite fairy tale first!
This is a great series for fans of Fairy Tales Gone Bad and Cinders and Sparks, which are also both fun new takes on traditional fairy tales. For more fairy tale retellings, check out our blog post on Fractured Fairy Tales for series for all ages.
