The Sleeping Beaty

The Sleeping Beaty


Retold by Annette Smith


-It is about a princess who pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and goes to sleep for 100 years and falls in love with a prince.


-Briar Rose
-King
-Queen
-Prince
-Wicked fairy


I liked the part when Briar Rose gets her finger
pricked on the spinning wheel.
I liked it because it was interesting and exciting.


I don’t have a favourite part.


I liked everything!


I don’t think the book needs to be changed.

I think this book would be good for girls ages 3-6.
