Editorial Reviews

Review

Filled with puns and lively wordplay, the rhyming plays off traditional plot elements, and readers familiar with the original will enjoy making comparisons. -- School Library Journal

Will have readers in stitches. This irrepressible read-aloud will have the audience shouting directions at the poor hapless Prince. -- Kirkus Reviews


Product Description

Everyone knows Sleeping Beauty has to be woken with a kiss, except Prince Charming. Every time the fairies watching over her try to tell him, he interrupts with his ideas of how to wake her. Eventually he gets the message, and his reaction is priceless: “One hundred years of morning breath Wow! That could be the kiss of death!”

With just as much interactive fun as Falling for Rapunzel (an IRA Notable Book and the winner of Maryland’s Black-Eyed Susan Picture Book Award), this fractured fairy tale will elicit laughter that no one will be able to sleep through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, March 20, 2009
By P. Cohen (Bay Area) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My little princess keeps all of her princess books in one pile in her room so we can read them over and over and over ... Needless to say, I quickly tired of the traditional tales. This book, however, is delightful! My daughter and I laughed and laughed ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Original and hilarious!, June 5, 2008
Leah Wilcox' rhyming, offbeat send up of the Sleeping Beauty story is hilarious. My children and I all love it - even my boy, who has endured so many princess stories for his sister's sake that he hates them on principle, thinks this book is a riot. But the humor is sweet, not cynical, and leaves them both rolling. They also love Lydia Monks' illustrations, and study them intently searching for the "real" textures and the "drawn" ones. I love everything about this book! Also look at their other collaboration, Falling for Rapunzel.
