Once Upon a Slime by Andy Maxwell

Wait, did that say slime? Isn't it supposed to say "Once upon a time?" Maybe we should read the story and find out what's going on.

What I thought: Too fun! Slime is so popular with kids right now. This is a longer story so I probably won't use it in storyime, but it was great to share with first and second graders. They had fun trying to figure out who was sliming everyone. A fabulous addition to my fairy tales outreach arsenal. The illustrations are colorful and fun. I like the different styles of illustrations and the use of white space.
