Rapunzel From a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm

For children who want to know more of the story behind some of their favorite Disney movies, these titles in the Fairy Tale Adventure series will satisfy fans of these timeless stories. Adapted from the Brothers Grimm and The Arabian Nights (although no source notes are included), these stories may be darker than versions children have heard but still remain age appropriate. Contemporary dialogue and simple descriptions keep the narration appealing. In Rapunzel, a pregnant mother's craving for rapunzel, a salad plant growing in a witch's garden, results in her child being raised by the witch in a high tower until rescued by a prince. Lovely illustrations add to the delight of these tales.--Leeper, Angela Copyright 2015 Booklist
