Title:            Waking Beauty

Grade:          All

 

Comments:  We talked about the story of "Sleeping Beauty" and then read this "fractured" version.  It tells about a Prince Charming who is very dense, and tries all kinds of silly ways to wake up the Sleeping Beauty before he actually listens to the fairies and finds out how he is really supposed to wake her up.  The kids loved this version.

Comments:  This is a silly story about what happens when a little girl ignores her mother's warnings about going to bed with wet hair.  The kids thought it was cute, though very fictitious.
