Once Upon A WHOOPS! is an anthology of fractured fairy tales and not-quite-right nursery rhymes by Australian authors, published by Share Your Story Anthology Angels in 2021.
This anthology is filled with familiar stories knocked deliberately off their axis, nursery rhymes that take a wrong turn and keep going, and the particular delight of an alternative ending you didn't see coming.
Dannika Patterson's reinterpreted nursery rhyme, 'Little Miss Muffet LOVED Spiders', appears within, and in this version of the traditional tale, Miss Muffet is besties with her spider friend, Ray, and a prank gone wrong gives Miss Muffet a fright.
Profits support Life's Little Treasures Foundation and its Sibling Story Time program, which provides support to the brothers and sisters of premature and sick newborns.
Once Upon A WHOOPS! is an excellent classroom resource for teaching fractured fairy tales, narrative structure, parody, rhyme and creative writing. Students can read the collection and then write their own. Schools can invite Dannika Patterson to lead writing workshops based around this book.
Themes include fairy tales, nursery rhymes, humour, parody, creative writing and charitable giving.
Suitable for primary-aged readers and lower to middle primary classrooms.
