Discover a world of quirky characters and enchanting adventures in this collection of four original fairy tales, brought to life with lively text and eye-popping, painterly illustrations.

In The Singing Rock & Other Brand-New Fairy Tales, a genie yearns to grant a wish to the frog who accidentally freed him, while the frog simply wants to be left in peace. A witch, tormented by a persistent bard's cheerful (and awful) singing, turns him into a rock, only to find that the power of terrible music overcomes all magic. Elsewhere, a wizard searches for the perfect pet, and an ogre dreams of creating beautiful art.

Nathaniel Lachenmeyer's wry and utterly charming storytelling, paired with Simini Blocker's vibrant artwork, makes this collection a perfect read for kids who love a good yarn—and good comics! Ideal for readers aged 5-9, this middle grade graphic novel is a delightful gift for young readers who enjoy quirky tales filled with magic, humor, and heart.
