Once Upon a Cool Motorcycle Dude (General Storybook)


It all begins when a boy and a girl are forced to work together for their library project and are supposed to choose a fairy tale to talk about. Since the boy and girl couldn’t decided on a fairy tale as partners, they decide to write one of the own. The girl’s fairy tale is about Princess Tenderheart, a princess that lives in a beautiful princess with eight beautiful ponies. The young boy decides that the girls’ fairy tale isn’t as good as his so he introduces his character to the story: the cool motorcycle dude! The two kids continue collaborating back and forth creating a mixed- up mashed-up fairy tale. This book is a wonderful example of recognizing someone else’s creative differences and making something great from collaboration. The book is illustrated by three different authors, so it makes it very interesting to see the illustrations that are coming from a particular part of the story. Very cute book!
