I love seeing the classic fairy tales you know in this way. It's very fun and enjoyable and also at times kind of deep for a middle grade book.

"This fabulous collection of reworked fairy tales blew me away when I first read it, at eighteen. I've returned to it many times since then, and always find something new in it."

Prior's second novel was more of a fantasy/fairy tale than her more reality-based first novel Read my full review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/12/20/the-scent-for-infatuation/
  
I love fairy tales, and I love Doctor Who, so this book was absolutely perfect. It's also a wonderful combination of retold familiar tales and original stories that are in the vein of fairy tales.

I found it fun that in most stories, I could clearly identify which Doctor was appearing in that story. I also appreciated that he is often not the main character.

It was so much fun to read that it was over far too quickly.

Nice short sentences and brightly coloured pages are very attractive to toddlers. My daughter enjoyed this one a lot as she is fascinated with brushing her teeth and talking about the tooth fairy.
