Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Joyce Rice
The castle is alive with preparations for the little princess's introduction to the kingdom. All the good fairies are present, waiting to give their special gifts to the princess. First Fairy promises to teach dancing and singing, Second Fairy promises to teach wondering, Third Fairy promises thinking things through, Fourth Fairy teaches bravery and truth, and Fifth Fairy promises love. But before the Sixth Fairy can deliver her promise to the princess, an ugly, screeching voice is heard, as the kingdom becomes aware of the presence of the uninvited guest. From this point in the story, the telling remains true to the original fairy tale, with the obvious exception of the characters being mice and not people. The princess falls into the foretold deep sleep and the prince finally awakens her and wins her heart. The illustrator has filled these pages with original, beautiful pictures that will make this an excellent version for storytelling. Although it may be confusing to children who have heard the original story, it is worth sharing, and will provide an excellent source for comparison study when reading to older children.
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1San Jos's retelling of the classic fairy tale is well suited to the younger set: simply told and not too scary, with sunny, friendly illustrations. The story is populated with dormice rather than humans, which adds an element of coziness. The fairies at the beginning give gifts with a modern sensibilitybravery, imagination, and the ability to "think things through"and in the end, the princess awakens on her own. No prince comes to rescue her; rather, a woodcutter dormouse whose devotion to the princess is a family legacy approaches the castle at precisely the right time. San Jos ably blends prose and verse into her narrative, concluding with a wedding song (music included) that incorporates the good fairies' gifts. Catalano's pastel illustrations complement the text with their simple shapes and bright yet delicate hues. The darker elements of the tale are softened; not even the evil fairy is that frightening. In some ways, this lessens the impact of the story, but for those looking for a gentler version, this is just the ticket.Donna L. Scanlon, Lancaster County Library, PA
