Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

My son loved this book! He was especially a fan of the illustrations.

I personally thought it was a little slow but it was great for a young child who this book is actually written for.

Honestly it was a very cute book with a unique storyline. And since my kid is a fan of Night at the Museum AND Land of Stories this was definitely for him.

4/5 stars and will buy a physical copy for his shelf so he can read it again.

4.5 stars rounded up!

What a fun story! If you want a night at the museum like story with the magic of fairytales and well known classics, this book is for you! Such a quick, cozy middle grade read!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an E-Arc!
