"At the bottom of the enchanted tree was a little wooden door. It was framed with pretty snowdrops and hidden by golden leaves."
☆☆☆1/2
It's your favorite story of Sleeping Beauty being awoken by a Prince licking her. Wait, what?
VERITY FAIRY tells this classic story from the perspective of the fairy who redeems Sleeping Beauty's curse. Charming black and white pictures throughout. It's a funny, playful first chapter book about magic, marshmallows, and friendship.

UNICORN DIARIES × RAINBOW FAIRIES
Basically just Sleeping Beauty, but it's funny. [Spoiler: The prince is a DOG named Prince who licks her.] I'd read the next one.

Reading Stats: She read in one sitting while I cooked dinner, so 30-45 minutes.
Age: She thought it would be good for younger kids, probably 4-6 year olds. It would make a lovely read aloud.

I will post a photo + review to Instagram as well.

This was such an adorable book and a fantastic retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Verity was given a task from the fairy queen and when things didn't quite go as planned Verity had to learn how to fix a mistake she made which I thought was a good lesson to include. The book was also about friendship and remembering the importance of including everyone which are also great lessons to include. It had super cute illustrations and I love the map that included places for many different fairytales. This is definitely a wonderful book for beginner readers!
Thank you to NetGalley and DK for the electronic ARC!
