A very early chapter book, the first in a new series of twisted fairy tales, this falls into that category of kid humor that us grown-ups can’t appreciate, but they’ll probably love it. The heroine of the story is named Princess Pink, but she’s ademently against both princesses and the color pink, the anti-girly-girl. In search of a midnight snack she opens her refrigerator one night and falls through to a mysterious land where she meets Mother Moose and Moldylocks, with whom she visits the home of the three beards. Instead of porridge, they sample chili in which a spider is taking a bath. When discovered by the beards, Princess Pink makes her escape, but Moldlylocks is captured. Guilt-ridden for leaving her new friend behind, Moldlylocks returns, disguised as the beards’ grand-pappy, and rescues Moldlylocks from being made into chili. I’m not ready to give it a whole-hearted endorsement, but I’m ready to consider purchasing the first few books in the series and see how the kids take to them.
