Rapunzel by Paul O. Zelintsky

My book this week was Rapunzel. This tale definitely held true to tradition. The men and women were dressed in medieval clothing, . It's a story of a man and woman who have difficulty conceiving. When the woman realizes her stress is distributing her tighter, she tells the man they will finally have a baby. When the woman begins to get a craving for a nerve call to cancel and the Sorcerer's next or garden she must have it and sent her husband to retrieve it for her. when he goes a second time as of the woman's request the sorceress catches him and makes a deal with him . his first born in stead of his wife's life . he gladly accepts the deal and tells his wife and they unwillingly give the first one to the sorceress when she is born . The Sorcerer's names to Rapunzel and when she comes of age she puts her way in a tower where a prince in comes across her voice which he falls in love with. Her seeks her at the top of the tower. They marry in secret. When visiting Rapunzel, the sorceress hears Rapunzel complain of her dress getting tighter. The Sorcerer's sends Rapunzel to the wilderness to live on her own and wait for the Prince to return. In the story Rapunzel has twins, one boy one girl. this made me think her children were Hansel and Gretel . I think it be a great activity to have the children come up with their own continuation to the story .
