Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk
In Once Upon a Time, renowned children's illustrator Nick Sharratt has devised an interactive, irreverent take on the traditional fairy tale. Children will enjoy creating their own imaginative versions of the story by slotting the different tabs into the colourful pages. Choose what happens to the beautiful princess when she encounters a magic fairy/duck/toilet who grants her three wishes.
