Once upon a time
(now, tell me if you’ve heard this one before)
locked away up in a tower,
lived a princess with the longest. . .
NOSE?

Fairy Tale Land has gotten a shake-up. All the stories are happening at once and . . . not exactly as they used to, once upon a time! Climbing a beanstalk takes an unexpected twist, Little Red Riding Hood’s basket is bursting with an unusual gift for an out-of-the-ordinary grandmother, and Rapunzel’s nose grows longer every time she tells another whopping fib!

All at Once Upon a Time is a picture book read-aloud that will have listeners giggling ever after.

"This is an entertaining read-aloud choice; giggles will immediately ensue, though there are lessons to be learned as well...Rockliff and Jose emphasize the importance of treating others with compassion—perhaps a better lesson than those offered by the original tales." —Kirkus Reviews

"This clever mash-up of traditional folk and fairy tales comes together to make a whole new twisted plot to revel in...fast-paced adventure offers an opportunity to keep the story going even after the book has closed." —The Horn Book Magazine
