The perfect read-aloud to introduce the family to the wonders of Rapunzel. So goes her life until one day, a Prince hears her singing as he listens to the forest birds. When Rapunzel is visited by her captor, she lets down her rich luxurious (and strong!) hair so that the witch can climb up. The story is familiar to most in its simple form: Rapunzel is trapped in a tower with no door, visited only by the sorceress who imprisoned her.
The classic retelling is enhanced by the Renaissance-style illustrations that Zelinsky paints, drawing the reader(s) in with the magic of the words and images. Then, dig into the other versions for an intriguing adventure in reading for the whole family! Zelinksy’s Caldecott Award- winning traditional retelling, based on the Brothers Grimm tale. You’ll definitely want to start with Paul O. She is a worthy and fascinating topic for a family flight of books.
