Falling for Rapunzel (Picture Book)

Another genre I'm not usually crazy about:  fairy tale re-tellings.  They tend to make me grumpy.  I don't know why.  But Leah Wilcox's Falling For Rapunzel makes me laugh.  In it, the prince tries to rescue a perfectly content Rapunzel from her castle, but she has trouble hearing him from so high up.  Misunderstandings ensue.  For example, here's his first try:  "'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, throw down your hair!' She thought he said, 'Your underwear.'"  And a pair of frilly briefs lands on his horse's head.  You get the idea.  It's perfectly frivolous, with a terrific ending.
