Rapunzel's Allure
"The course of true love never did run smooth," as William Shakespeare once observed. When the prince catches a glimpse of Rapunzel high up in her tower, he's certain that she is the girl of his dreams. Naturally, he believes he can rescue her in the traditional manner, but this is no ordinary Rapunzel.
Instead of lowering her hair for the prince to climb, Rapunzel throws down everything except what he requests - including a surprise that makes all his dreams come true. This is a delightfully humorous fractured fairy tale, complete with clever page-turns and vibrant, eclectic artwork, making it the perfect choice for a funny Valentine's Day story time.
The prince, convinced that Rapunzel is his destined love, sets out to rescue her from the tower where she is imprisoned. However, this Rapunzel is no typical fairy tale heroine. Rather than lowering her long, golden hair to allow the prince to climb up and save her, she instead throws down a variety of unexpected objects, none of which are what the prince had requested.
This unexpected twist on the classic story creates a hilarious and entertaining narrative. The clever page-turns and the vibrant, eclectic art add to the playful and engaging nature of the tale, making it an ideal choice for a Valentine's Day story hour. The prince's dreams of a traditional fairy tale rescue are turned upside down, leading to a delightful and unexpected conclusion.
Shakespeare's timeless observation that "the course of true love never did run smooth" is perfectly encapsulated in this fractured fairy tale. The prince's expectations are subverted at every turn, leading to a story that is both amusing and charming. The combination of clever storytelling and vibrant illustrations makes this book a must-read for anyone looking for a funny and heartwarming Valentine's Day tale.
