Rapunzel

Bibliographic Information: Watts, B. (1975). Rapunzel. Illus. Bernadette Watts. New York, NY: Thomas Y. Crowell Company.

Brief Annotation: Taken at birth from her parents as payment to a witch, Rapunzel is locked in a tower on her twelfth birthday. There she lives until the witch discovers her romance with a handsome young prince, and she is banished to live in the deserted forest.

Genre: Folktale

Grade Level: 2 - 5

Readers who will like this story: Anyone who loves this tale, or similar stories.

Rating/Response: 3 out of 4. The language and illustrations in this version are not as engaging, but it is still a wonderful story. This version does not include a pregnancy and is, therefore, more familiar to me (and possibly many others.)

One question I would ask before a read aloud: What would it be like to be locked up, away from the world? How would you learn about the world outside?
