Ridiculous Rapunzel

Disney recently rewrote this classic with Tangled; one of which I am looking forward to seeing.  In anticipation of the comedic adaption I picked up Falling for Rapunzel.  While hubby was passed out on the couch and I was on my last leg of the evening, the children snuggled nearby for an evening story.  Much to my surprise we were thoroughly re-energized  by laughing through each turn of the page.  A book that gave us such entertainment, I just had to share with my son's first grade class with much delight.  I look forward to discovering more fun fairy tales from one of my new-found fast favorite children's authors Leah Wilcox.

Happiness is...

...sitting with children on your lap long enough to have your legs begin to go numb.  ...seeing them cry because reading time is over and it's now time for bed.  ...having your child take you by the finger rather than the hand.  Our copy of Love is... is so well worn that it has been taped and dental floss run through to bind it back together.  This is one of a series including Happiness is a Warm Puppy..., Happiness is a sad song... and Security is a Thumb and a Blanket...
