(4) K-3 Fairy Tales Today series. Illustrated by Jo de Ruiter. As a baby, Prince Handsome is cursed with an allergy to pointy things; a run-in with a toy sword puts the kingdom to sleep for one hundred years. Princess Anya uses her smarts (and a kiss) to wake the prince. Switching the main characters' genders is a clever touch, but this re-envisioning of "Sleeping Beauty" doesn't offer much substance. Genial illustrations accompany the updated tale.
