How about  Raymond Briggs' Jim and the Beanstalk, Babette Cole's Prince
Cinders,  Snow White in New York, Jane Yolen's Sleeping Ugly, Famous
seaweed soup (take off on The Little Red Hen), The cowboy and the
black-eyed pea (take-off on Princess and the Pea) and There was an old
woman who lived in a glove. Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes is fun too.
