Review

This book is laugh out loud hilarious and overflowing with super cool science facts - I will never think of Cinderella's feet in quite the same way again! ― Kate Pankhurst, author and illustrator of the FANTASTICALLY GREAT WOMEN series

Cleverly introducing basics of scientific investigation, the book analyses fairy tales to ask if it really is possible for a wolf to blow down a straw house, for a gingerbread house to survive outside or whether big ears are all the better to hear you with? There are even experiments to try at home. Great fun from age four ―

An absolutely wonderful book for inquisitive children who struggle to suspend their disbelief and are forever asking 'but what about.?' ―
