What were all those fairy-tale characters thinking? Jane Yolen and
Rebecca Kai Dotlich answer this question in paired poems, with
sometimes startling results. The Princess claims all those
mattresses kept her awake--"not" a silly pea--while the poor pea
complains that the princess snores. One Snow White begs the witch
to settle by the bay and throw that mirror away. 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. The spectacular paintings that tie
the poems together are full of surprise and intrigue. This stunning
collection includes end notes that briefly describe the tales and
their history and an introduction that invites readers to imagine
their own poems from unusual perspectives.
