Rapunzel

Bibliographic Information: Zelinsky, P. (1997). Rapunzel. Illus. Paul O. Zelinsky. New York, NY: Dutton Children's Books.

Brief Annotation: Rapunzel is taken from her parents at birth by a sorceress, who locks her in a tower at the age of twelve. A handsome young prince falls in love with her, and they have a secret marriage. The sorceress, discovering Rapunzel is pregnant, cuts her long hair and banishes her to live in the woods.

Genre: Folktale

Grade Level: 3 - 8

Readers who will like this book: Those who enjoy this familiar story, and anyone interested in the history of this folktale.

Rating/Response: 4 out of 4. This is the first version of this familiar tale that includes a somewhat scandalous pregnancy I have read. I also love that after the story, Zelinsky provides a history of this folktale.

One question I would ask before a read aloud: How does good survive evil?
