What do you get when you combine a humor writer with a kindergarten class? You get fairy tale gold, that's what. Author Marc Schmatjen visits the Ruhkala Elementary kindergartners once a week over the course of each school year to cook up collaborative fairy tales. The literary recipe is simple: Start with a "Once upon a time," add twenty or so wild and incredible imaginations, throw in a pinch of structure and direction, and marinate for twenty minutes on the color carpet. This ongoing project began almost by accident, but the results have proven magically delicious. Bon appétit!
