Summary of the book: This book is about Prince Charming who is a horrible listener. Sleeping Beauty’s fairies try to tell him how to wake Sleeping Beauty up. The Prince tries all kinds of silly ways to wake her up. He is not listening to what the fairies are saying. Will he ever understand that she won’t have ever-after bliss until he wakes her with a KISS!
How can the book be used with students in the classroom: I would use this book to teach listening skills to my students. It is a fun book to read to the whole class, and to teach the children how to be good listeners.
