This book has many funny stories, and they are crazy. The stories are funny versions of fairy tales. My favorite story is "The Very Ugly Duckling." He is very ugly. I also like "The Stinky Cheese Man." He smells a lot, and nobody wants to chase him.
I like the book because it is completely stupid and funny. It makes me laugh. Nobody chases the Stinky Cheese Man and he stills runs away.
I also like the characters because they look funny. I like the Ugly Duckling because he has a red eyeball and a tongue hanging out of his mouth. Also, the characters do a lot of stupid things like the title of the book says. Little Red Running Shorts and the wolf jump off the page!
The pictures are really weird. One picture has a bunch of little pictures. They go together to make a giant who looks like Frankenstein.
I recommend this book to 2nd graders through college age students. Everyone should read it because it is so funny.
