About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of consequences or finding it difficult to work cooperatively with siblings. This Victorian-era fairy tale, reimagined for a modern audience, follows three royal children who live in a palace with a magical garden. When they ignore the rules and let their selfish impulses take over, the wicked dwarf Rumpty-Dudget gains power, eventually kidnapping the youngest brother. The story focuses on how small acts of disobedience can snowball into major problems, and how the only way to fix a mistake is through genuine sacrifice and teamwork. It is a wonderful choice for parents who want to discuss accountability and the importance of looking out for one another in a family unit. While it has some classic 'scary' fairy tale elements, it is ultimately a hopeful story about the power of love and redemption.
