Will her brave prince come and save the day? This timeless fairy tale will have children enthralled as it has romance, action, and a happy ending."

    " We read a lot of these books with the gold on the edge. I remember that we found like a trading card in the back of this book and thinking that was really cool. "

    " Sleeping Beauty is an all time classic fairytale! I love the story line behind it and how they have the evil step mother. I also love how the animals are involved in this story. It seems to be that most of the fairy tales there is always conflict, however in the fairytale Sleeping Beauty has a different type of dilemma. She faces family problems and she also faces issues within herself. I love this fairytale! "

    " One of my favorites of Walt Disney's collection of stories. This is a suspenseful tale that seems to have no hope for happily ever after and may end in tragedy, but the brave prince steps in and saves the day once again. "

    " This was another book I encountered through my grade school's library- a friend wrote a book report about Bluebeard's Wife and Hop o'My Thumb. We thought they were great at the time, but who decided gory and violent stories were appropriate for children? "
