Falling for Rapunzel

32 pp. | Putnam | December, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23794-1 $$14.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Lydia Monks. High-maintenance Rapunzel, up in her comfortably furnished tower room, keeps mishearing Prince Charming's overtures, throwing down, not her hair, but underwear, dirty socks, and a cantaloupe (among other things). This irreverent spoof plays with words, rhyme, and fairy-tale conventions with obvious delight. The bright and lively mixed-media illustrations are equally imaginative and extend the text's infectious humor.
