Illustrated by
Richard Egielski.
LaRochelle and Egielski tell their story from the end to the beginning, starting with "And they all lived happily ever after." Egielski's pictures, complete with icons of the fairy-tale world, nearly burst off the pages, and the text gallops through the story's riotous events. Youngsters will read this book over and over, from front to back and back again.
