The talented Brigette Barrager lavishly illustrates this beautiful retelling of the Grimm Brothers’ “The Twelve Dancing Princesses.” In this delightful fairy tale, twelve princesses wake up every morning to find their shoes are worn out and they are totally exhausted! A handsome suitor discovers that the princesses are enchanted, and that each night, in their sleep, they travel to a magical world to dance at a ball. Will this handsome suitor be able to break the spell and rescue the princesses? This book is sure to be an instant classic. Illustrations are truey magnificent.

When noodling the web we came across this awesome website Draw a Stickman (http://www NULL.drawastickman NULL.com/gallery NULL.htm?p=53).
It’s one of the first things kids learn to draw and adults continue to do so through the rest of their lives.
Here you can be simple or as elaborate as you would like. It will come to life and go on an adventure. When your stick man comes upon an obstacle, you are encouraged to draw other objects to help get your character out of trouble.
You can download the free Stickman app here. (http://itunes NULL.apple NULL.com/us/app/draw-a-stickman/id467614894?mt=8) We have also discouvered the AppCrayon (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/dano01 NULL.html) really helps those little hands!
Have fun! Please send us a screen capture of your drawings so we can post them. Better yet. If you send us a drawing that involves dandelion we will send you a special discount code. Attack of the dandelions?
Happy drawing! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
