Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep combines elements of the classic tale and creative elements that are all Levine’s own. Does Christopher really want to kiss her? But…after a hundred years, Princess Sonora is a bit dusty. (He used to be a Baby of Action.) Prince Christopher is much more delightful and enjoys asking questions, so readers know from the start that he and Sonora ought to be perfect for each other. Her first would-be suitor is dreadfully dull and enjoys stating the obvious and enjoys listing the gifts he was given by the fairies at birth. The other characters are equally as wonderful. For example, she knows yeast makes bread rise, but when she wants to know why, she decides it is because bread is supposed to feed people and risen bread will feed more people than flat bread will.

He lives in New York States Hudson River Valley. Mark Elliott is the illustrator of many picture books and novels for young readers, including Gail Carson Levines ever-popular Princess Tales series. She is witty and often comes to conclusions that are more imaginative than they are scientific. Gail Carson Levine and her husband, David, live in a two-centuries-old farmhouse in the Hudson Valley of New York State. Sonora, however, is not as boring as all her reading and talking encourages everyone to think. When she begins to crawl and then walk, she sets daily distance goals and travels in straight lines and perfect circles. From that moment on she does not coo but begins reading treatises on how to improve the everyday workings of the castle. Review: Gail Carson Levine brings humor to another well-loved fairytale by making Sonora a princess blessed at birth with extraordinary intelligence.
Everyone just recites the old proverb “Princess Sonora knows, but don’t ask her.” Then, one day, a visiting shepherd tells him, “Princess Sonora knows, but don’t ask her…because she’s asleep.” Christopher sets off to find the legendary Sonora to ask if she can help solve his kingdom’s latest problems. Generations later, in the kingdom of Greater Kulornia, Prince Christopher has a lot of questions that no one can answer.
Summary: Princess Sonora was cursed at her naming ceremony by the fairy Belladonna to prick herself on a spindle and die, but another fairy altered the curse so Sonora and the rest of the castle will sleep for a hundred years. Goodreads: Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep
