Sleeping Beauty by Adele Geras translated by Christian Birmingham

This traditional fantasy story is about a King and Queen who throw a banquet in honor of their new daughter the whole kingdom is invited except on fairy named Skura. This fairy decided to attend anyway and starts seeking revenge. She curses the baby, but the good fairies undo the curse by making the child have years of sleep instead of death.

I love this story. It is my favorite fairy tale. I love sharing the story with students to expand their imagination.

I would recommend this story for Pre-K to Kindergarten students. It is an imaginary story so we can discuss the difference between true stories and made up stories. I will ask the student to draw something they remember from the story that would be imaginary. ( )
