Waking Beauty

32 pp. | Putnam | January, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-24615-9 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lydia Monks. An impatient prince tries everything to wake Sleeping Beauty, including yelling, jumping on her bed, and shooting her out of a cannon. When the fairies can get a word in edgewise, he finally gets it right. The mix-up goes on too long, but the energetic mixed-media illustrations play up the rhyming text's humor, and the unexpected ending packs a wallop.
