Sleepless Beauty

Sleepless Beauty is a fairy tale that takes a modern day twist on The Sleeping Beauty. Frances Minters tells the story about a young girl who lives in the city with her family. During her birthday party the evil “witch-like” neighbor puts a spell on her that she will never wake up again after she goes to sleep. The next morning Sleepless Beauty awakes to find everything to be normal. When she is asked how she woke up, she simply stated that she set her alarm clock.
This book is written as a poem and is a very cute and funny way to compare traditional literature. I recommend this book to any young reader familiar with The Sleeping Beauty.
