Illustrated by
Brigette Barrager.
Rapunzel is lonely in her tower; Snow White is tired of her seven housemates' sloppiness; Cinderella wants to get some sleep; and Sleeping Beauty wants to wake up. This fractured fairy tale enjoins humor to encourage girls to seek out new adventures and solve their own problems. Vibrant, spunky illustrations bring a hip feel to the rhyming text.
