Summary and Uses: This is the classic retelling of a fairy tale that everyone has heard before. It has a modern twist to it which is why it is so appealing. I would have this book in my classroom to empower young girls to become assertive. Sometimes reading about a character in a book is motivation for the reader. I doubt I would ever read this book out loud because I would lose most, if not all, of the boys' attention.
