Are you an adult who is sick of reading sugary-sweet and dumbed down books to your kids? Do you like to hear your kids laugh out loud? Are you a weirdo with a dorky sense of humor? (I knew I liked you for a reason!) This book is for you.
In the world of "Twisted Tales" there are snoring Princesses, and Saber-toothed marshmallows. There’s a crocodile who loves eating babies but hates eating vegetables. And there are a couple of poems that make you want to curl up with your kid on your lap, and read books in a rainstorm. Read some sample poems on this website.

People often ask me, "Why did you choose the word Tacky for your book title?!" For me, Tacky is a good thing. It means being carefree, adventurous, and probably barefoot. Most importantly, it means being able to laugh together as a family, and to not always take things seriously, (especially ourselves.)
Advanced Praise for "Twisted Tales for Tacky Children."
"Gripping. A compelling glimpse into the misunderstood life of vegatablephobic illustrated crocodiles."
"Heartwarming, funny, and clever. Katie Hayes is the best writer since Geoffrey Chaucer. "
"Brilliant. It's been a long time since I laughed this hard.... because I'm an extinct marshmalllow and I don't have a mouth anymore."
