The Ravenous Gown

The Ravenous Gown: And 14 More Tales about Real Beauty by Steffani Raff

After the first story in this collection made me laugh out loud several times, I knew I had to get this book and keep reading. All the stories have alternative takes on beauty, and feature witty, self-sufficient characters who take active roles in shaping their respective destinies. From conquering dragons to having incredibly smelly feet, issues both fantastic and mundane are addressed in this excellent read-aloud for all ages.
A few of the tales truly stand-out, and all the rest are still good reading.
