Hooray!

The story is a cute variation of the one we all know. The rhymes and meter are good--this is so refreshing!!And while it ends in happily ever after, Rapunzel doesn't have to get married.This is a lovely book.

Throw down your underwear!

This is a hilarious adaptation of the story of Rapunzel. I read this to students in an elementary special education class and they also loved it. The rhyming makes it fun for the kids to guess what Rapunzel throws down. The prince will say, "Throw down your curly locks!" The next lines would say, "So Rapunzel threw out...." and the kids would have fun guessing what Rapunzel threw down. Another teacher in the room stopped what they were doing and listened to the story as well.

WE LOVE IT!

One of the best new picture books we have read in a long time. The illustrations are adorable and the poetic story is hilarious! This is a must have for every child's library!

CLEVER, WHITTY, FUNNY

This book is a clever display of Leah's talents. The illustrations are hillarious and the text and rhyms are great. I really enjoyed this book and knowing Leah personally I think this is a great display of her talent and that everyone should own a copy. This book is great for all ages and I recomend it for anyone in need of a good laugh.

SUCH A FUN BOOK!

Yesterday, I found this book at the library and after one reading, I immediately ordered my very own copy. It's fun, it's funny, it's fresh, and even the rhyme scans!The twist at the end was priceless. I will definately recommend this to all my friends.
