![]() I thought I would zip right through this book, but it ended up taking me several days because there isn’t really a lot of action. WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE: My only complaint is that parts of the story are a little dull. Readers who enjoy doing voices when they read aloud will especially love this one for storytime. With a varied cast of fairy tale characters and frequent changes in scenery, Rump would make an excellent elementary or middle school read-aloud. ![]() I loved the gold-obsessed pixies and the drooling trolls. I always love when fairy tales get tangled up in other fairy tales! Red Riding Hood is Rump’s surly best friend, Red’s grandma is a witch, the apple in Snow White has become a poisoned apple tree. Though Rump isn’t perfect and succumbs to his own greed for a time, it is Rump’s story, and the reader’s sympathies will lie with him. ![]() Throughout all of this, Rump is the sympathetic character it is the miller’s lies and his daughter’s stupidity, not Rump’s inherent evil, that rest at the heart of the Rumpelstiltskin story. It explores how Rump ended up with the Queen’s baby and the final riddle of how the queen “guesses” his true name. Rump takes readers through the entire story of Rumpelstiltskin, including how Rump discovered his “gift,” how he got tangled up with the miller’s daughter and the lies that led her to spinning straw into gold for the king. SUMMARY: Tells the story of Rump, a boy who discovers he can spin straw into gold. ![]()
