Sleeping Cinderella and Other Princess Mix-ups

Fairy tales are often rewritten but this is a fresh take on four classic princesses who are tired of their story and want to switch places.  This tale is a perfect fit for the idiomthe grass isn’t always greener on the other side.  As they switch the princesses think the other girl has it better, but it doesn’t take long for them to long for their own home.  Of course, they switch back.  The book is a good example for girls that if you are unhappy with your lot in life, change is possible, and you don’t have to move.  The illustrations are colorful and appealing to kids.  The rhyming text sometimes gets awkward, but the story is worth it.
