Sleeping Beauty

Princess Aurora, the fairies who guard her and the spell that sends a kingdom to sleep fill this large illustrated retelling. Part of the Disney Movie Collection, the hardcover runs to 72 pages and presents the familiar fairy tale in a format children can follow on their own or share with an adult. The pictures are given plenty of room, which helps children who are not yet reading independently keep track of the story through what they can see. Courage, friendship and the lasting pull of true love sit at the centre of the telling.
