Product Description
The prince is hoping to fall for Rapunzel, but since she can't quite hear what he asks for, everything but her hair gets tossed out her window. Instead of her curly locks, she throws her dirty socks. Instead of silky tresses, out go lacey dresses. And you can predict the guaranteed-to-crack-kids-up clothing she sends down when the prince simply says hair. . . .
Finally Rapunzel heaves out something that makes all the prince's dreams come true, showing how misunderstandings can lead to happily-ever-after.
Hilarious text, clever page-turns, and vibrant, eclectic art make this a non-traditional Rapunzel kids will want to read about again and again.

Loved it! October 27, 2008
We first heard this story at a story time. It's a fun, quirky, fresh take on an old classic. The rhymes are cute, as well as the maid, and even Rapunzel comes out looking good. I have two boys and, even though it is probably more of a girl story, they love it. I will probably buy this for my nieces come birthday time.
This book is HILARIOUS! June 9, 2008
My 6 year old daughter and I both love this book! It is SO funny and cute and clever. The illustrations are really wonderful and it is a lot of fun to read over and over again. We give this book to every little girl we know as a birthday present.
One of the best fairy tales ever! June 5, 2008
Leah Wilcox (author) and Lydia Monks (illustrator) have retold the Rapunzel story in hilarious rhyme that captivates my children (and me for that matter!) They love to hear this story over and over - they laugh harder and harder as confused Rapunzel and her hapless prince get more and more outrageous. While he tries to get her to throw down her hair, Rapunzel throws down everything but the kitchen sink. The humor is sweet, the ending is unexpected and happy, Lydia Monks' illustrations are perfect. Our family loves everything about this book - and their other collaboration, Waking Beauty.
 Adorable! May 10, 2008

This is such a cute book! I laughed out loud when I read it. It is certainly a clever spin on the Rapunzel tale, and I love how it all happily ends--even if the end is different.
An enjoyable book for kids and the parents reading it February 14, 2008
I love this book as much as my kids do (ages 4 and 2). The illustrations are fun and interesting and the rhymes are clever and fun to read. I can't wait to get her newest book, too!
