I sat down this morning and began to flip through Endlessly Ever After: Pick YOUR Path to Countless Fairy Tale Endings! before I knew what was happening, I found myself engrossed in the story. I love how they give us the choice to decided where the story is going to and what is going to happen.
Having different endings let me find different character to discuss with Charlie. If Charlie has still been #Homeschooling we could have used the book to study in our Homeschool Reading Class when studying Fairy Tales.
Having a pick your own path to countless fairy tales will keep not only keep children but adults entertained for hours upon hours and save parents money because they will not need to purchase new books because Endlessly Ever After: Pick YOUR Path to Countless Fairy Tale Endings! will give children a new story to read every time they open up the book.

About; Laurel Snyder
I’ve been writing pretty devotedly, in one form or fashion, since I was about seven. In the fourth grade, I announced to the world that I planned to become “rich and famous writing books and plays for children!” Then I intended to adopt every stray Dog and Cat in the City of Baltimore and move them all into an old mansion, not far from where I lived.
Well, I’m not rich by any means, I live in a rather small brick house, and I only have one Cat, but I am (blessedly) writing books for kids, and I couldn’t be more amazed or delighted.
Most days I spend with my sons (who are tiny) smeared with Peanut Butter, finger paint, and silly joy. But late at night, I write these books… and I hope you’ll read one…
And if you like that book, (or even if you don’t) I hope you’ll write to me and say hello!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
