Land Of Stories Picture Books Books in Order

The Land Of Stories picture books bring Chris Colfer's fairy tale world to younger readers and to families who like sharing stories at bedtime. They keep the same characters and heart as the novels, but tell shorter, fully illustrated tales that stand on their own.

The Curvy Tree began as a story inside the first Land of Stories novel and became its own picture book. A lonely girl, teased for being different, runs into the forest and meets a twisted, looping tree that explains how being unusual once saved him from the axe. Together they show that uniqueness can be something to celebrate, not hide.

In Trollbella Throws a Party the focus shifts to Queen Trollbella, a spoiled but endearing ruler who plans the most extravagant birthday celebration she can imagine. Musicians, magical creatures, carnival rides, and a mountain of cake are not enough to make her happy until she notices a goblin boy trying to sneak a peek. Sharing the fun and giving back to her kingdom turns out to be the best gift.

A Treasury of Classic Fairy Tales is a large, lavish collection that retells more than thirty five traditional stories and nursery rhymes. It is presented as the very book Alex and Conner once fell into, so readers see familiar characters like Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, and the Little Mermaid in forms that echo both classic sources and Colfer's own series.

Across these titles the tone is warm and reassuring, with just enough danger to feel exciting and plenty of gentle humor. The art leans into bright colors, expressive faces, and detailed backgrounds that invite kids to linger over each spread.

You can read the picture books before, after, or alongside the main series. They work as easy entry points for younger siblings, or as extra glimpses of favorite characters for longtime Land of Stories fans who want something quick and comforting between longer adventures.
