Get ready to hold your nose. Here are eight stupendously whiffy, oozy and rip-roaring traditional tales, retold with extra stink and slime in this smelly yet surprisingly charming collection.
Perfect for independent readers or for sharing a giggly moment at story time, these tales will spark a smile at any age. Packed with colour illustrations, jokes and speech bubbles to appeal to even the most reluctant reader.

Sam Baer grew up on the tiny island of Jersey before setting off on adventures in not-quite-so-tiny England. Since 2011, he's been writing books about everything from imps and elves to Victorian fashion. It's a dream job (almost as good as being a superhero).
Lara has loved books since the days of being read bedtime stories by her Irish dad and French mum. At school she set up a secondhand bookshop called Books Change Lives, and went on to study English and Italian at Oxford University. After teaching in Italy and Myanmar, she got her dream job as a writer for Usborne Publishing. From explaining how economics works, to inventing boredom-busting activities, to telling a good dragon yarn, she's enjoyed every minute of the job.
