O Fantástico Mistério De Feiurinha
''O Fantástico Mistério de Feiurinha'' is a children's book by Brazilian writer Pedro Bandeira. The work was published by Editora Moderna in 1986 and received the Jabuti Award for children's literature. Book's Overview ''O Fantástico Mistério de Feiurinha'' takes place in a time after the end of fairy tales. Written by Bandeira and with illustrations by Avelino Guedes, this book mixes well-known fairy tales with the story of Feiurinha, a character created by the writer. Thus, the protagonists of some of these tales get together to discuss what would have happened to Feiurinha, who disappeared and nobody knows where she is. The fear of the characters is that the “happily ever after” of each one of them is also compromised, since Feiurinha disappeared after the promise of a happy ending. However, none of them remembers the story of Feiurinha or who wrote it. Therefore, Snow White sends her lackey to a writer, who is the narrator of the book, to find out what happened to th ...

Jabuti Award
The red-footed tortoise (''Chelonoidis carbonarius'') is a species of tortoise from northern South America. These medium-sized tortoises generally average as adults, but can reach over . They have dark-colored, loaf-shaped carapaces (back shell) with a lighter patch in the middle of each scute (scales on the shell), and dark limbs with brightly colored scales that range from pale yellow to dark red. Recognized differences are seen between red-footed tortoises from different regions. They are closely related to the yellow-footed tortoise (''C. denticulatus'') from the Amazon Basin. They are popularly kept as pets, and over-collection has caused them to be vulnerable to extinction.The species name has often been misspelled as ''carbonaria'', an error introduced in the 1980s when ''Chelonoidis'' was elevated to genus and mistakenly treated as feminine, an error recognized and fixed in 2017.

Fairy Tale
A fairy tale (alternative names include fairytale, fairy story, magic tale, or wonder tale) is a short story that belongs to the folklore genre. Such stories typically feature magic (paranormal), magic, incantation, enchantments, and mythical or fanciful beings. In most cultures, there is no clear line separating myth from folk or fairy tale; all these together form the literature of preliterate societies. Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicit moral tales, including beast fables. In less technical contexts, the term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy-tale ending" (a happy ending) or "fairy-tale romance (love), romance". Colloquially, the term "fairy tale" or "fairy story" can also mean any far-fetched story or tall tale; it is used especially of any story that not only is not true, but could not possibly be true ...
