Funny Fairy Tales!
humorous fairy tales for elementary age students - a colleague and I were laughing so hard ourselves at the humor in the plays!

Great plays for kids.
I took this book to the beach for the kids to have something to do if the weather turned bad, it did, and the whole family loved it. The kids got to be creative and work together to put on a play for the rest of the family. Even my [...] year old got to play a part (with my help) and because they are familiar kid fairy tales, they already knew how they wanted to act out their character.

Just what I was looking for.
I teach drama to children ages 9-12. It was nice to find something that did not play down to them and was simple to memorize and stage.
