The "W" Section

Well this time at the library I decided that I didn't want to drag my book bag all over so I parked it in the "W" section and "W"ow what a section it was. So for the next little while I will be posting books that are from authors in the "W" section. :) I already posted the first one "Waking Beauty" by Leah Wilcox and so I'm going to post another one of her books because it is just as clever. It's called "Falling for Rapunzel"



The prince is hoping to fall for Rapunzel, but since she can't quite hear what he asks for, everything but her hair gets tossed out her window. Instead of her curly locks, she throws her dirty socks. And you can predict the guaranteed-to-crack-kids-up clothing she sends down when the prince simply says hair. . . .

Finally Rapunzel heaves out something that makes all the prince's dreams come true, showing how misunderstandings can lead to happily-ever-after.

Hilarious text, clever page-turns, and vibrant, eclectic art make this a non-traditional Rapunzel kids will want to read about again and again.

Waking Beauty

by Leah Wilcox

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!"

This is a great princess book for boys and girls. The boys get a kick out of prince charming because he is being such a clueless boy while the girls still get the fairies and the princess.

Calling All Princesses!

If you have a little girl as into princesses and babies as much as my little girl is, then this is the perfect book for you. She hasn't been too into Katz's other books, but if there's a crown, a pretty dress and a wand she can't seem to turn it down. Her face lights up whenever I pull the book out.

Snoring Beauty

By Bruce Hale

A great twist on the classic Sleeping Beauty tale. From a storytelling frog you experience a furious fairy, a cruel curse, and a snoring princess. The illustrations are very colorful and bright and a hard-of-hearing fairy makes all the difference in this classic. Yada yada, hippity-hop

Recommended age: 4 and up.
