Have you read L. Frank Baum's book, Ottis? I did, recently, when I had finished Wicked and wanted some background. I mean, I've read all about it being political propaganda but still ... it is wierd! And Dorothy just seems so clueless ... 
All the more reason to make fanfiction out of it. |

I was talking about this with my 12 year old and she had me rolling on the floor with her take on some of the "lighter" children's tales. She also said she read Cinderella in third grade and it, "Scarred me for freakin' life!"
"If you like a hawt guy too much, some hawt chick will steal him from you and you'll die and turn into sea foam." (Little Mermaid again, though her take was a bit different from yours Duchess)
And the one that about made me laugh up a lung:
"If you lie about your shoe size, you'll bleed to death from your feet."

Yea, just recently, that's what gave me the idea to do the crossover story. I read wiced about two years ago, great stuff, Shell got Son of a Witch for Christmas and just finished it. As soon as I'm finished with S King's final Dark Tower book I'm gonna' start on that, she said it was really good....

Oh any book tips for children to read from are more than welcome (especially touch and feel books for the very little ones), I am just wondering if there are any books like that out there with a fantasy theme. Can you imagine a book like that for Tolkien characters? Furry hobbit feet, the soft coat of Shadowfax... or the blue fabric of a dwarven hat?
