Reach for this book when your child is struggling with frustration or believes that being the loudest or 'biggest' in the room is the only way to get results. It is a perfect choice for children who may feel overwhelmed by high-pressure environments or for those who need a gentle reminder that kindness and quiet persistence often succeed where force and noise fail. In this humorous subversion of the classic Sleeping Beauty tale, Prince Eggbert tries increasingly boisterous methods to wake the princess, including loud music and a crashing brass band. When his assistant, Barnaby, manages to wake her with a simple, gentle gesture, the story beautifully illustrates the power of a soft touch. It is an ideal read for preschoolers and early elementary students, offering a funny yet meaningful lesson on empathy and patience.
