Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
Rosa loves to climb. This is a good thing, because her evil stepmother and stepsister make her sleep on the roof. Everything changes, however, when word gets to her about a bookworm prince that is looking for a wife. The king of the kingdom decrees that whoever can make it to the top of the tallest tree in the kingdom and bring down with them some seeds from the tree, will win the prince’s hand in marriage. Rosa doesn’t just face the challenge of climbing the tree, though, she must also outwit one of her stepsisters. Will she make it to the top of the tree? Will she get to marry the prince or forever be stuck sleeping on the roof?
The text and illustrations are funny and are enjoyable to look at. The illustrations complement well the text. Children of all ages will enjoy reading about a Cinderella who’s not your typical damsel in distress and a prince that has a rather unusual personality.
