'Youngsters who know their fairy tales should have great fun mixing and matching them.' -- The Children's Bookseller 20050819 'For very small children, no amount of visionary artwork can compete with the fun of lifting flaps. My son, aged three and a half, loved Hilary Robinson and Nick Sharratt's Mixed Up Fairy Tales'. -- stephanie merrett - observer 20050901 Classic fairy stories have been re-told often but none so entertaining and unusual as Mixed Up Fairy Tales. Author Hilary Robinson and illustrator Nick Sharratt have created a classic fairy story book, but with an ingenious and captivating twist. Anyone, young or old, with an ounce of imagination and partial to fairy tales will love this book.www.writeaway.org.uk -- www.writeaway.org.uk 20051001 '...good fun.' -- Books for Keeps 20051001
