About This Book
Sleeping Ugly offers a delightful and humorous reimagining of the classic Sleeping Beauty tale, perfect for emergent readers. It introduces Princess Miserella, who is outwardly beautiful but inwardly cruel, and Plain Jane, who is ordinary in appearance but possesses a truly sweet and loving nature. After Miserella's terrible manners anger a fairy, all three fall into a deep sleep. The story cleverly explores themes of inner beauty, kindness, and the true meaning of worth as a prince arrives to break the spell in an unexpected way. It's a wonderful conversation starter about character and values for children aged 4-11.
When beautiful Princess Miserella, Plain Jane, and a fairy fall under a sleeping spell, a prince undoes the spell in a surprising way.
