Book Reviews of The Twelve Dancing Princesses
Book Review: Dance On and I Will Dance With You
Summary: 5 Stars
The Twelve Dancing Princesses by Rachel Isadora is the most stunning interpretaion of the classic fairytale. I am so pleased that Ms. Isadora is looking at many fairytales with a different way and that the books reflect images from Africa, my original home. I have sent a number of these books to a small school in Senegal and the children are so happy. They are doing their own collage pictures based on the book. I also sent them The Ugly Duckling, The Princess and the Pea and Hanzel and Gretel. Some children are familiar with the original fairytales but most are not yet they understand that the new books of Ms. Isadora highlight the world they experience everyday and are delighted that these books come from America and yet show Africa. I think American children, who know the fairytales, will also delight in the fresh interpretations. I hope Ms. Isadora will do many, many more because we love them all!
Thank You
