Cute progressive re-telling of various male fairy tale and legendary heroes. It's pitched as a kid's book but I think it will do better for adults, as a certain level of understanding regarding the original source text is necessary to make the stories "work." At times I wasn't sure if the intent was satirical or not though and I could easily see this being classed as "humor" rather than children's lit. I did appreciate the emphasis on multicultural, multi ethnic, and LGBTQ characters in the illustrations.
