Under a curse that holds her asleep for a century, a princess keeps a whole kingdom waiting with her until someone brave enough arrives. This board book version holds the familiar shape of the tale in a form small hands can manage.
The cutout edge gives the book a shaped outline rather than a plain rectangle, which makes it easy for a toddler to identify on a shelf and pleasant to hold. Thick board pages stand up to repeated handling, and the retelling is trimmed to a length that fits a short attention span. Illustrations carry most of the storytelling, so a child who cannot yet read is still able to follow what is happening from page to page.
On the page:
• A shortened retelling of the hundred-year sleep and the breaking of the curse
• Die-cut shaped edges that make the book distinctive to hold
• Sturdy board construction made for toddlers and repeat readings
• Picture-led pages that support children not yet reading on their own
Intended for toddlers and preschoolers and for adults reading aloud at bedtime. Available in English at Boipoka.
