Publisher's Description
This delightful book with beautiful, illustrated characters is a
magical retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale with a
twist.
In this captivating interpretation of a classic fairy tale,
children can rediscover the much-loved story of Sleeping Beauty while
exploring the kingdom of the fairies--a place where all of the classic
fairy tales coexist and intertwine. In this retelling of Sleeping Beauty,
youngsters can follow Verity and her fairy friends in the Fairy-tale
Kingdom and see how they help good prevail over evil, making sure
everyone lives happily ever after. Verity means truth, and that is
exactly what she does: she tells the truth, ALL the time, and it often
gets her into a lot of trouble!
Gorgeous characters, simple text, and a splash of humor make Verity Fairy: The Real Story of Sleeping Beauty
a captivating book to share. A perfect gift for every young child to
enjoy, it will spark curiosity and imagination, while gently encouraging
conversation around the difference between right and wrong.
My Thoughts
I received an eARC courtesy of DK Children via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Very
simple and accessible. I like that there is something that kids can
learn from the story (always a bonus) and I love the follow-up questions
at the end to test comprehension. As for the story itself, it was
overall very cute with a great number of illustrations throughout. Not
sure how I feel about the lack of consequences for the fairies' choices
(Verity's exclusion and Nissa's HORRIBLE reaction to it)-that might not
send the right message....
For Libraries: This is a great addition for beginning chapter book collections.
My feelings are pretty much the same for Verity Fairy: Snow White.
