Roses were very dangerous for Sleeping Beauty - that everybody knows. But do you know other flower beauties from her garden as well? This combination of encyclopedia and fairy tale will help you!Far, far away after crossing nine mountains and nine rivers lived a charming princess Sleeping Beauty and her great passion was gardening and taking great care of all plants that surrounded her palace. The princess was cursed when she pricked her finger on a thorn one day. She fell fast asleep, and the entire garden became shrouded in brier roses, hawthorn, and weeds. How will the charming princess save her garden? Discover the princess' s story, and find out about the wonderful world of gardening with this richly illustrated book with seven gatefolds on each spread.
"While this book was beautifully illustrated, and the approach is interesting and unique the writing became too compex at times. I enjoyed weaving gardening in with a fairytale, and I would like to see the other books in this series. That being said, the depth in which the explanation for plants and gardening went was too expansive for juvenile nonfiction. If it is meant for older juveniles, it would be a good start to learning about gardening. The patrons at my library that tend toward fairy tales are generally younger, not that illustrated fairy tales can' t appeal to older ages, but the approach seemed to switch between two ages of reading levels " Jordan Gray, Librarian
