  This finds popular characters from Gotham living out a set of fractured fairy tales: Damian Wayne dreams of being a Pinnochio-like puppet; the Gotham PD investigates the theft of a diamond in a Princess and the Pea–themed story; butler Alfred takes the place of Alice in Wonderland; and Batman becomes enchanted by the Snow Queen. The first three tales feel noisy and energetic, full of puns and funny situations, with Batman's allies and foes taking the place of the traditional characters and adding their own quirkiness. "The Snow Queen" reads more like a quiet picture book, with full-page illustrations and lyrical captions. Those familiar with the team of Fridolfs and Nguyen from the Li'l Gotham series will be familiar with the sketch-like, watercolor artwork, which is particularly stunning in "The Snow Queen." Familiarity with the Batman canon is helpful, since some lesser-known characters (Talia al Ghul, Harvey Bullock) appear without introduction or backstory. However, anyone who likes twisted fairy tales or appreciates the humor in the Teen Titans Go! TV series will find this title worthwhile. Grades 3-6. Copyright 2020 Booklist Reviews.
