Snoring Beauty
Rachael Mortimer
- Reading
- Read it as a comic twist on a familiar fairy-tale pattern. Pause at the gatefold to explore what it adds, and let your child decide which character’s attempt seems most promising.
- Themes
- A comic fairy-tale twist: The familiar sleeping-princess setup is reworked around snoring, palace disruption and princes trying to solve the problem. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- The princes’ promised reward includes marriage to the princess and a bag of gold. You may want to notice how the story presents that bargain and the repeated attempts to wake her.
