Waking Beauty
by Leah Wilcox, Illustrated by Lydia Monks

You know the traditional fairytale named Sleeping Beauty, but you may never have heard about the problems Prince Charming had in Waking Beauty! As the fairies tried to give him hints about how to wake her up, Prince Charming just wouldn't listen. In spite of all his funny tries, Sleeping Beauty continued to sleep on. When he finally hears what he must do, he's not sure that he is up to the job.

Following Leah Wilcox's Falling for Rapunzel, Waking Beauty once again is a hit with its hysterical Sleeping Beauty spin-off written in rhyming couplets.
