All right, now for my first non-Pound Puppies book review!
Fairy tales have never been wackier than these, all starring that famous fat cat himself. This book contains five stories:
Garfield and the Three Bears-Garfield, looking for respite from a boring camping trip, wanders across the Three Bears' cottage...and ends up wrecking the place.
Little Red Riding Odie-Jon sends Odie, clad in the appropriate red cape, to his sick Grandma's house with a box of Girl Scout cookies...but a certain someone else is evincing interest in those cookies, too.
Garfield and Penny Henny-Garfield, who's sojourning at Jon's parents' farm, accidentally knocks a corn cob onto a chicken named Penny Henny's head...and decides to have some fun with her. (This story, BTW, was adapted into an episode of The Garfield Show.)
Garfield and the Sleeping Beauty-Arlene(as one might expect) plays the eponymous princess and Garfield plays the prince in this tale of the princess cursed to sleep for a hundred years until awakened by a kiss (There's a movie in here somewhere).
Garfield and the Beanstalk-Jon trades Odie for a handful of magic beans, which grow into a beanstalk overnight. Garfield climbs the beanstalk and encounters a giant. (Eat your heart out, Mickey Mouse!)
My Thoughts:Overall, a top-notch book. The illustrations(by Mike Fentz) are fantastic, and the writing is well done and very humorous. A must for any Garfield lover.
