(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Chris L. Demarest. These breezy parodies of fairy tales cast a bratty chimp called "So What" in the role of Snow White, substitute Hamster and Gerbil for Hansel and Gretel, and turn the three pigs into three penguins. Incorporating contemporary dialogue and pop culture references that sometimes fall flat, the eight sporadically funny stories are illustrated with energetic black-and-white cartoons.
