Rabunzel
Gareth P. Jones and Loretta Schaeur
Rabunzel, Rabunzel, let down your ears!…”
Rabunzel has a teeny tufty tail, a twitchy nose and two wide brown eyes. She also has VERY long ears – so long that her mother worries they will make her easy bait for the hungry creatures of the forest.
The answer? Rabunzel must be kept safe … in towering hutch, high in the sky. Here Rabunzel waits grumpily for her mother’s daily visit with carrots and fresh lettuce, letting down her ears so she can climb up the tower.
But one day, it isn’t her mother who climbs up Rabunzel’s very long ears…
A fearless, fun-filled fairy tale – perfect for any little reader who loves a twist in the tale!
