Join the Big Bad Wolf as he debunks your favourite fairy tales with SCIENCE! Written by the hilarious Catherine Cawthorne and illustrated by award-winning Sara Ogilvie.
Did a princess really feel a tiny pea through a mountain of mattresses? And could a pumpkin actually turn into a carriage to carry Cinderella to the ball? Of course not! It’s all a load of fairytale NONSENSE! Or is it . . . ? The Big Bad Wolf is on a mission to find the truth behind these tales, and clear his name in the process.
Combining STEM topics with classic stories children know and love, this hilarious non-fiction picture book is perfect for inquisitive children always asking big questions!
This book is laugh out loud hilarious and overflowing with super cool science facts – I will never think of Cinderella’s feet in quite the same way again! * Kate Pankhurst, author and illustrator of the FANTASTICALLY GREAT WOMEN series *
Cleverly introducing basics of scientific investigation, the book analyses fairy tales to ask if it really is possible for a wolf to blow down a straw house, for a gingerbread house to survive outside or whether big ears are all the better to hear you with? There are even experiments to try at home. Great fun from age four * Daily Mail *
