My Review:

🌟🌟🌟🌟

What an adaptation!

Four Point Four Stars

While Rapunzel’s story as the girl locked away in the tower was known to me, the version with the Asian adaptation and Rapunzel with her dark hair, was lovely to read. The texts were both in English and Mandarin Chinese and the artwork was beautiful.

The book also has audio-narration for getting the tone and narration right.

Eye-catching illustrations and neat retelling for this classic.
