The Rumpelstiltskin Problem by Vivian Vande Velde

 Has the Rumpelstiltskin story ever bothered you? There are so many problems with this fairy tale which is full of bad parenting, short sighted royalty, inept magical people, and foolish girls. This book addresses all the problems in 6 short stories. I read this book aloud to my kids and we had fun voting for our favorite version. Vivian Vande Velde recognized the problem and wrote 6 different ways to solve all the questions. 

Short story, fantasy, fairy tale

Recommend: Yes.
