Amazon Synopsis:
Set your tasers to “have a blast” in a
slapstick fairy tale adventure that’s out of this world. Snitch and Sneer are the
extraterrestrial stars of this sensationally silly graphic picture book, Fairy Tale Crashers. In their
first adventure, Snitch and Sneer hit the
hood to create chaos, laughter and general mayhem with little Red Riding Hood,
the Wolf and dear ol’ Granny like you’ve never seen her before. This duo of
fairy tale crashing, galactic goof balls are sure to appeal to even the most
reluctant reader. So, warp
speed ahead into the zaniest fairy tale adventure to ever hit the solar system.

Please, note that the print version will land on B&N soon.
My Thoughts:
Snitch and Sneer Hit the Hood is an updated version of the fairy tale
Little Red Riding Hood written in cartoon format. In it there is a Snitch who
is a narrator/announcer, the actors, and Sneer who mocks everything. They
arrive from outer space in Fairy Tale Land and visited the stage set for Little
Red Riding Hood.
This is an excellent
retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale with a few additional twists
added for some extra fun. The graphics are bright and colourful and will appeal
to children who enjoy comic books.
I liked the lesson
at the back of the book on how to draw a wolf for those who are interested in
learning to draw. There are also some humorous answers to questions that were
sent in by readers to Snitch and Sneer’s Facebook page.
I thought Snitch and Sneer Hit the Hood was an
amusing fairy tale retelling and would be enjoyed by comic book readers and
fairy tale lovers everywhere. I gave this book 5 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the
author for providing a copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest
review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.
