Snoring Beauty

You think you know the story, but this is how it really went (or close to it)! Wonderful humor, puns, illustrations and story of how a young princess (Princess Drachmina Lofresca Malvolio Margarine. But she smiled and cooed anyway) became the best at everything, even being a snoring dragon (although a very beautiful one). Older children and adults will enjoy this twist on a favorite classic and will whoop it up with a hey-nonny-nonny and a hot-cha-cha!

Everyone knows the story of Sleeping Beauty: A handsome prince rescues a beautiful princess from a wicked fairy's terrible sleeping spell.

This story is just like the original. Except for the sarcastic frog narrator, the garlic-scented fairy, and--oh yeah--the princess in this book not only sleeps and snores . . . she's also been turned into a hot-pink and purple dragon!

Certain to charm and delight fairy tale fans across the land, this raucous retelling is anything but a snoozer.       

Think you know Sleeping Beauty? Better think again . . .
