Cousins, L. (2009). Yummy: Eight favorite fairy tales. Somerville, Mass: Candlewick Press.
This is a collection of eight fairy tales, with the traditional endings. The illustrations are not traditional though; they are very bright, simple line drawings with bold primary colors. The big bad wolf eats the little pigs, but the last pig boiled and ate him in return. I actually liked that the traditional "violent endings" were left in. I have learned that a lot of my students have never heard some of these fairy tales, so I'm glad that they live on in books like this, which are simple and easy to read.
