From the publisher
“The course of true love never did run smooth.” –William Shakespeare
When the prince spies Rapunzel high in her tower, he’s convinced she is the girl of his dreams. Of course he thinks he can save her the traditional way, but this is no traditional Rapunzel.
She throws down everything but what the princ asks for–including a surprise that makes all his dreams come true.
A hilarious fractured fairy tale with clever page-turns and vibrant, eclectic art that is perfect for funny Valentine’s Day story hours.
