But who will kiss the crocodile and break the spell?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this hilarious spin on the traditional fairy tale \u003ci\u003eSleeping Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e, a certain fairy is not invited to the party for baby Princess Liss. So the angry fairy shows up at the party and casts a spell on the baby. The spell turns her into a crocodile and sends her into a deep sleep when she's 15, only to be woken by a kiss. But who would dare to kiss a crocodile? The talented team behind the popular book \u003ci\u003eOctopants\u003c\/i\u003e offers up a fun take on the traditional fairy tale with rhyming text and energetic illustrations.A snappy, rhyming retelling of “Sleeping Beauty.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrincess Liss’ parents throw a ball for her first birthday, but they’ve left someone off the guest list, with the classic fairy-tale result: An angry fairy, with green wings and a purple dress, arrives uninvited and places a curse on the princess. In 15 years, Liss will bump her knee and die—and as an added twist, she will look like a crocodile until then. Another fairy, wearing a top hat and with orange wings, swoops in to modify the curse so the princess can be woken with a kiss. But who will kiss a crocodile, even a sleeping one? Three princes—two light-skinned, one Black—fight their way through the thorns but run screaming from Liss’ sharp teeth. Neighbors call Clare and Katarina, of the Fix-It Crew, to tend to the castle’s hedges. This tough duo are the ones to save the day, and Liss and her family celebrate with another ball. While Liss remains a passive character, this is a lively retelling. Every page bursts with bright color, and the rhyme scheme is a delight to read aloud. Princess Liss is light-skinned, her parents appear to be an interracial couple, and other characters are diverse in skin tone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA fresh and fun fractured fairy tale. \u003ci\u003e(Picture book. 4-8) \u003c\/i\u003e--Kirkus ReviewsSuzy Senior lives and works at the top of a huge hill in Sheffield.
