Reading Beauty: (Empowering Books, Early Elementary Story Books, Stories for Kids, Bedtime Stories for Girls)

Reading Beauty is like Sleeping Beauty except it has books. Lex likes books and reading. When she turns fifteen, her parents take all her books away. A fairy has cursed Lex. The fairy says that Lex will get a paper cut and she will fall asleep unless she has true love’s kiss and that will wake her. So her parents take all the books away because they are scared. Lex wants to find the fairy to break the curse. The fairy thinks the king and queen did not invite her to the ball, even though they did, so the fairy got angry and cursed Lex when she was a baby. The dog helps find the lost invitation. Then Lex teaches the fairy how to read, and there are books in the kingdom again. The fairy becomes a librarian at the end, which is funny. I thought the story and the illustrations were okay. The illustrations weren’t very cute, and I like cute stories with cute pictures. I think children who like the Sleeping Beauty story might like this story.
