Fairy Tale Fraud|Classic Tales with a Twist
This month’s featured author is Katie Pye, the author of the Fairy Tale Fraud Series.
These fun moral-filled tales are new spins on classic fairy tales.
Told entirely in rhyme with lively illustrations, Katie Pye’s fun fractured fairy tales are the perfect way to introduce concepts like healthy habits, adaptability, and empathy to ages 4-12.
Katie has several more books planned for her series, but has already produced several of these silly and engaging tales.
Let’s take a look at what is currently available for the fairytale fraud series.
Ready For Rescue?
In this version of Rapunzel’s tale, the witch is definitely ready for her long haired beauty to grow up and go out on her own, but will the princess’s bad habits scare away a suitor?

Jack’s Giant Problem
In this version of the classic tale, Jack goes up the beanstalk and takes from the giant, without considering his feelings. Eventually, Jack learns about empathy and considering others.

Trip Trap Trouble
The Three Billy Goats Gruff bested the troll. Or did they? This version of the story teaches gratitude and has a strong “the grass always looks greener on the other side” message.
Dressed in the Best
This fun new take on “the Emperors New Clothes” features plenty of humor, rhyme and underwear silliness, while teaching the value of listening to others and accepting when you are wrong. It’s a complicated lesson put into simple terms the children can understand.
Sibling Wars
This one is a twist on the Hansel and Grettel fable, and it’s perfect for feuding siblings. What if the real battle Hansel and Grettel fought was not with the witch, but with each other?
Breaking News
When Humpty Dumpty Fell off the wall, things were never the same again, but not everyone adapted to that change so well. This fun take on Humpty Dumpty teaches adaptability and flexible expectations.
Katie Pye has several other books in the Fairytale Fraud series set to launch soon including…
Cooking Disaster
A lesson in asking for help with The Little Red Hen.
The Lost Years
Sleeping Beauty and the truth about grief and social media.
Shoes to Shine
A Puss and Boots story about self confidence.
