Very Little Sleeping Beauty

(4) PS Illustrated by Sue Heap. Tomorrow is Very Little Sleeping Beauty's birthday party. Too excited to sleep, she sneaks around the castle and finds one of her gifts: a spinning wheel. The fragmented plot pales in comparison to Heapy's previous recastings of a fairy-tale protagonist as an exuberant modern-day toddler (Very Little Red Riding Hood; Very Little Cinderella), but Heap's scenes of "castle" life continue to be enchanting.
