[Vikki Nagindas]

InOnce Upon a Slime, not wanting to return his favorite fairy-tale book to the library, Slimer hides it in Egon's latest invention and accidentally turns it on. The next day the fairy tales have come to life, and the fantastical beings learn that Egon's machine was designed to turn ethereal entities into solid matter![2]

After Ray finished reading a fairy tale to Slimer, he noticed the book was two days overdue. He told Slimer that it would have to be returned in the morning. Slimer objected and wanted to keep it. Ray insisted they could check it out again and bid him goodnight. Slimer turned the light back on to stick his tongue out at Ray. Meanwhile, Winston and Egon were working on a new machine in the basement workroom. Winston began to realize it was rather late in the evening when Egon handed him a screwdriver instead of a wrench and vice versa. Peter stepped in to check on the happenings. Winston managed to convince Egon to call it a night just so they finished in the morning and ran some tests.

Unhappy, Slimer took the book at around 2 A.M. and tried to locate a place to hide it. The kitchen refrigerator was too full but Slimer helped himself to some grapes. Slimer tried to hide the book under rug near the edge of the Rec Room but it stuck out. Eventually, Slimer settled for the basement as a hiding place. Unfortunately, Slimer hid the book underneath the new machine of Egon's, which was designed to make ethereal entities into solid matter to facilitate their capture. Slimer inadvertently flipped a switch located on the bottom side of the macine. After he left, the machine hummed to life and glowed eerily.

Later that morning, Slimer helped himself to a stack of pancakes for breakfast. He splashed some syrup on Peter's nose but licked it off for him. Ray came into the room concerned about the lost fairy tale book. Slimer pretended not to know what happened to it. Suddenly, Janine got a call. It turned out an enchanted forest had manifested in Manhattan. The Ghostbusters went to investigate. They came upon the Gingerbread House from "Hansel and Gretel" and Slimer started to eat pieces of the building. Winston, Egon, and Slimer confirmed the house was in fact edible. The house then came alive and tried to eat the Ghostbusters. The Proton Streams made quick work of the house and the forest but Egon was stumped as how the phenomenon had happened. He took a sample of the gingerbread's smoldering remains for analysis.

As they headed back to Ecto-1, their car was stolen by a red skinned dwarf who told them they could never guess his name. After Peter's nicknames failed to stop the dwarf, Slimer and Ray quickly realized it was Rumplesliltskin, and upon hearing his name, he disappeared. The guys then saw the White Rabbit and Card Soldiers from "Alice in Wonderland." The soldiers trampled right over the guys.

Upon returning to the Firehouse, Little Bo Peep and her sheep walked out. Before Bo Peep left, she apologized about the rugs. Ray noted how it seemed like every fairy tale was coming to life. Slimer realized it was all his fault and quickly grabbed the fairy tale book from the machine and returned it to the library (scaring a librarian in the process). He returned home claiming that he had solved the problem. Just then a giant bean stalk grew into the sky and giant-sized garbage started began raining down on the Firehouse. Slimer explained about the book and the machine. The machine worked so well that it turned the fairy tales into the real thing. Egon deduced what happened and claimed he could reverse the process if he had exactly the same fairy tale book, so he and Ray went with Slimer to retrieve the book while Winston and Peter took Eco-2 to investigate the top of the beanstalk.

After they collided with a tomato, the duo rode Ecto-2 upward and came upon a castle on a cloud and were immediately taken down by a giant child with a squirt-gun. The child took the guys to his gluttonous father who prepared to eat Peter and Winston. Egon noticed Ecto-2's emergency beacon on his Belt Gizmo and realized time was short. They found the book and raced back to the machine. Egon reversed the wiring and instructed Ray to place the book on top of the machine. Egon activated the machine, which caused the giants and the castle to dematerialize just before Winston and Peter were eaten. The guys made it back onto Ecto-2 and flew safely home. The garbage and beanstalk also dematerialized. The Ghostbusters, Janine, and Slimer celebrated with a group hug.

That night, Slimer wanted Ray to read him another bedtime story. Ray tells him he'd had enough of fairy tales. Slimer handed him a magazine with a centerfold. Ray pondered why the picture in the centerfold couldn't come to life. Egon, assuming it was a "girly magazine" asked Ray if Slimer was too young for that "sort of thing." Ray turned the centerfold over to reveal that it was a dessert magazine. Egon and Peter were silent then turned out the lights. Ray caught Slimer looking at the magazine and told him to go to bed, too.

Can a young boy find fire for his family--and bring it safely home? An exciting, nearly wordless picture book adventure as visually compelling as a Pixar short. After a hard rain douses the family fire, a brave young boy sets out to search for more fire to bring home before the cold season sets in. Along the way, he'll face many challenges, from perilous mountains to fearsome predators to raging rivers, and find something wholly unexpected: a friend. In his picture book debut, artist Logan S. Kline crafts a dramatic tale inspired by prehistoric times and told almost entirely through stunningly detailed illustrations. "Finding Fire started with the sketch of a small boy holding a torch and grew from there," he says. "A lot of research went into creating the art for this book, yet the look of the boy changed very little over time as he was inspired by my children, from my younger son's wiry frame to my elder son's wild hair that goes in a million different directions." This gorgeous adventure story just begs to be visited again and again, with each perusal promising new discoveries.
