This book opens with a page that looks like it’s taken out of a medieval book of hours, with close-up drawings of the rapunzel plant and a description: “Rapunzel… will grow and bloom in the most desolate wastelands.” Otherwise, the retelling is pretty standard Grimm.
Rapunzel Retold and illustrated by Alix Berenzy. Here they are, with lots of variations in illustration style, details in the retelling, ethnicity, and more.
I think that an obsession like this is the perfect opportunity to explore how stories can be told many different ways, so I have (over time) checked out just about every Rapunzel picture book I could find at the library. Nearly every day when she comes home, the first thing she does is take off her regular clothes and put on her Rapunzel costume. I mentioned recently that my daughter has been into Rapunzel.
