"Kaiti and I read it, cuddled in my 'grading chair.' Every girl has her own favorite princess, and for Katit, it's Aurora...Sleeping Beauty. We read the book and watch the video often. The Disney additions to the story are not as offensive as with other princesses, so I'll read and reread this with her whenever she asks!" — Claudia (4 out of 5 stars)
