Illustrated by
Emilie Chollat.
The old woman and her brood move out of the shoe into the house of the seven dwarfs, Snow White moves in with Rapunzel, Rapunzel moves in with Rumpelstiltskin, etc., and everyone is happy until the children from the shoe get homesick. Readers familiar with these characters will enjoy this irreverent departure from fairy-tale tradition. The book features retro-looking illustrations in candy colors.
