Other editions of book Sleeping Ugly

A clever twist on Sleeping Beauty for emergent readers.Princess Miserella is very beautiful outside, but inside she's the meanest, wickedest princess around. Plain Jane, on the other hand, has a face to match her name but a sweet and loving nature that earns her three wishes from a fairy. Miserella's horrible manners make the fairy so angry that her magic throws them all into a deep sleep. Will the handsome prince kiss the right girl?

Plain Jane has a heart of gold -- but her face is as homely as her nose is long. Princess Miserella, on the other hand, is a beautiful princess with a heart of stone. In this droll twist on the classic fairytale, the kiss-bestowing prince learns that beauty is indeed only skin deep."Yolen pokes fun at the patterned Sleeping-princess story in a tale that's written with brisk simplicity and humor...it is amusing, it has plenty of action, and it's easy to read". -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "A light, bright twist on the romantic tale". -- Kirkus Reviews

Princess Miserella was very beautiful but inside, where it's hard to see, she was the meanest, wickedest and most worthless princess around. Plain Jane, on the other hand, had a face to match her name but a loving and sweet nature. A meeting with a disguised fairy brings them together in the middle of the dark wood and there, in a hilarious round of misunderstandings and misused wishes, Miserella and Jane both get the rewards they deserve.
