Doctor Fairytale
by Catherine Jacob (Author) Hoang Giang (Illustrator)
Join Doctor Fairy Tale and her canine sidekick as they visit ailing storybook characters in this sweet story proving that one good turn deserves another.
My name is Doctor Fairy Tale, I'm always super busy.
My list of patients is so long, it sometimes makes me dizzy!
One character's head is throbbing after her long, flowing locks were used as a ladder. Another has splinters in her bottom after sitting on a certain bear's too-small chair. Then there's the girl with blistered toes after hobbling home from the ball in just one shoe! Luckily, in this magical make-believe land, Doctor Fairy Tale and her dog are on the case, traveling far and wide to help injured and ailing fairy-tale friends.
No matter what sort of bump or bruise--and no matter how mischievous the patient!--this kind doctor is happy to lend a hand, inspiring little readers to do the same. With warm, lively watercolor illustrations rich in humor and imagination, this story's buoyant rhymes will have children happily guessing the fairy tales behind them.

Review quotes
"This charming story riffs on favorite childhood stories while slightly altering many of their endings in clever, inspired ways. . . . The rhyming text keeps the pace moving and adds to the timeless feeling of the source material. The warm, soft illustrations alternate between small, framed vignettes and full, two-page layouts. . . . A whimsical spin on all things fairy tale." —Kirkus Reviews
