Description

An unexpected and wholly original fractured fairy tale by award-winning author Mara Rockliff, with a hilarious visual narrative from illustrator Gladys Jose—All at Once Upon a Time is a fantastic picture book read-aloud that will have listeners giggling ever after

Once upon a time
(now, tell me if you’ve heard this one before)
locked away up in a tower,
lived a princess with the longest . . .
NOSE?

Fairy Tale Land has gotten a shake-up. All the stories are happening at once and . . . not exactly as they used to, once upon a time! Climbing a beanstalk takes an unexpected twist, Little Red Riding Hood’s basket is bursting with an unusual gift for an out-of-the-ordinary grandmother, and Rapunzel’s nose grows longer every time she tells another whopping fib!

With a surprise on every page, readers will love trying to guess what happens next.

Praise

"Bright cartoon art makes exaggerated use of perspective and expressively rendered characters to heighten the dramatic plot twists and the humor...this fast-paced adventure offers an opportunity to keep the story going even after the book has closed."
—Horn Book Magazine

"Be prepared for this amusing storytime selection to be requested over and over."
—Booklist

"a fast-moving romp"
—Publishers Weekly

"This is an entertaining read-aloud choice; giggles will immediately ensue, though there are lessons to be learned as well...Rockliff and Jose emphasize the importance of treating others with compassion—perhaps a better lesson than those offered by the original tales."
—Kirkus Reviews
