"My daughters loved this book. They are 2 and 3, so when Rapunzel kept getting what the prince said wrong, they thought it was so funny. We read all the time. Classic with a delightful twist."
"The illustrations in this book are definitely random and bright, but give the book a fun appeal. It is cool how she switches mediums from using fabrics to drawing the rest of the picture with acrylic paints. The words are comedic and bring a more realistic view on the classic fairy tale, with it starting with a bad hair day. Her rhyming schemes are entertaining to say the least, and clever how she changes the phrase of, throw down your hair, on each page. The difference in words could teach vocabulary words and the repetition of the phrase help them derive what the words mean."
"This updated "fractured fairy tale" of Rapunzel had my first grade students laughing hysterically. They enjoyed the repetitive misunderstanding of Rapunzel as she throws down her "dirty socks" instead of her "curly locks" or her "underwear" in stead of her hair. As a teacher, I liked how I could use the book as a way to get the children to make predictions using rhyme. As a woman, I liked how Rapunzel never wanted or needed to be rescued as the prince thought, it was just all a misunderstanding. I think a knowledge of the Rapunzel story would really help the reader to enjoy this story.
The art in this book is also fantastic. Lydia Monks uses collage throughout the story in a really interesting way. As a student pointed out to me, all of the trees are cutouts of pictures of real trees. Check out this book!"
"Anyone who's been on a roof and trying to talk to someone on the ground can understand this take on the classic fairy tale. I love the illustrations and the silly rhymes in this book."
