Alternative Endings to well-liked children's books

[WidowWadman]

I'll start with Peace at last by Jill Murphy:

...Baby Bear was not asleep either. He was lying in bed, pretending to be an aeroplane.
"NYAAOW!", went Baby Bear,
"NYAAOW! NYAAOW!"
"Oh NO", said Mr Bear,
I can't stand THIS."

So he said "SHUT UP, Baby Bear, and while you're at it, turn the light off, it's time for sleep, I don't want to hear a single sound from you anymore."

Not entirely an alternative ending but when I was little, I used to have nightmares that Thumbelina didn't escape the old mole and had to marry him and live with him forever in the dark tunnels. It completely freaked me out!

Ruby the Red Fairy:

. . .and Jack Frost took over the world, and declared that it would be winter forever. All the fairies died of hypothermia, and all cute little girls were locked up in nasty orphanages and made to sow shirts all day.

THE END

We're Going on a Bear Hunt:

'Hi Mr Bear, do you want to come and play with us?' (courtesy of my four year-old DD).

The three little pigs: 'So the little pigs and the wolf had a pillow fight and a sleepover and Weetabix milk in the morning' (again, thanks to DD)

Monkey and me
Monkey and me
Monkey and me
We went to the overpriced giftshop near the exit and badgered mummy to buy us nasty plastic tat.

Ah Takver, if only...

I'd quite like it if the Babes in the Wood could not have died - but i don't think that is the sort of witty post you want... It's always bothered me and I refuse to read it to DS - although I reserve the right to one day when I'm totally at the end of my teather and he needs something to think about....

And a Peppa Pig one:

"And now that Miss Rabbit has flooded the garden we can all jump up and down in muddy puddles" Said Daddy Pig

"Oh no you can't" said mummy pig "you'll get filthy and it's nearly dinner time. Off you go inside and watch Peppa Pig on the telly."
