My Thoughts:
This well-known story is given new life with Bethan Woollvin's wonderfully simple but playful illustrations. Woollvin's Repunzel is not satisfied with being locked in a tower all day so she climbs down her hair to explore, not heeding the witch's threat to curse her if she tries to leave. And when the witch does find out, well, she already has a plan for that, too.
This brave Rapunzel will delight little girls with it's slightly skewed story and awesome ending. Want a story where the girl saves herself instead of waiting for a prince to come along? Bethan Woollvin's Rapunzel is perfect for anyone looking for empowered female characters for their daughter's shelves!
