Cinderella Skeleton by Robert D. San Souci, Illustrated by David Catrow
The perfect retelling of the classic fairytale for the little ghoul in your life. It is fairly macabre (she loses her whole foot after the ball when it snaps off on the stairs) and of course all the main characters are skeletons or corpses but the illustrations are whimisical enough and the rhyming verse silly enough that none of it feels threatening...

Baby's gotta learn to be useful. Raise 'em right from the start. Teach 'em to make you breakfast. And as far as vocabulary goes, 'over easy' is much more useful than "fire truck".

Let's be honest. It takes years to perfect martini making skills. The sooner you get 'em started, the better and more sophisticated their post-college years will be. Keep your pants and your martinis dry kids!

Hilarious, witty illustrations and text, I read it three times to other adults before I finally grudgingly passed it on to my nephew. Best served in bed with a parent who does good voices.

In fact, he introduces forty zippy Spanish phrases to thoroughly entertain children of all backgrounds. The first Spanish word is “pachanga” which is like a fiesta only with more music, more energy, and more dancing till all hours! Matthew’s MUST-HEAR CD features the same instrumentation as the first Jazz Fly, with the addition of master Latin percussionist John Santos.

I could always empathize with Max. Having pride is a tough thing when you're a kid. But that never stopped him from causing a rukus. We can all learn from that.

My newest favoritist illustrator, Mr. Gris Grimly (I'm assuming "Mr.",...) has two volumes of morbid retellings of classic nursery rhymes of which this is the first...perhaps some of the parody is obvious but it is fun and wicked and reminds you of the verse of Mr. Gorey...the illustrations continue to be fantastic making me think that Mr. Grimly is the bastard son of Tim Burton, Chas Addams and Gerald Scarfe...

I bought it under the auspices that it was for our daughter but really it was for me. The scratchy inked lines with impressionistic washes of color are gorgeous but the greatest thing about Mr. Grimly's style is the unique ways he allows his free-flowing lines and splatters to abstract the figures...it is a style perfect for the subject matter - namely two monsters who live in Booville and can't stand each other because one is tidy and one is messy. The felix and oscar relationship, no surprise, blossams into love and friendship by the end but along the way, we are treated to all kinds of disgusting verse and fantastically rendered monsters and creatures. It is a great book, a great book for kids with nothing offensive or questionable (i feel)...but then again, I bought it mainly because I wanted to look at the illustrations while I read to our daughter...
