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
