Warning, though, there's some violence in the end. ( ) children's picture book (grades 1st-3rd) I liked this when I originally read it several years ago (slapstick comedy! a rhyming scheme! lots of unique vocabulary words!), but now when I read it I am much more sensitive to the issues of consent (the princess does deliver a knock-out punch to the face to the prince when she wakes up, "Who said you could have a kiss?")--I made a note to the kids that you NEED TO ASK FIRST, but the whole sleeping beauty concept has been spoiled for me. I recommend instead: Leah Wilcox's Falling for Rapunzel, which is another twisted fairytale with a (thankfully) totally conscious princess. a spin on an old classic. in this version the prince is unaware that he must kiss the princess to wake her. He is a tad daft. the fairy godmothers try to give him clues but he keeps taking the wrong measures to wake her. when he finally realizes it is a kiss she needs he is nervous and of course worried as girls have germs...but he gives it a try - only to end up on the receiving end of an upset princesses left hook. the prince is knocked out cold and now it is up to the princess to wake him. written in rhyme. cute alternative to the regular...delighted it was not full of Disney created royalty! This would have received 3 stars from just me - but my daughter requested we read it three times over so it gets bumped to a four. If you like alternative fairy tales I would also recommend Prince Cinders and The Paper Bag Princess sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Prince Charming tries all sorts of silly ways to wake Sleeping Beauty before he learns how he is really supposed to wake her up. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
