I can't point out what prolonged this story, at all. I adore slower-paced reads with slow building, suspense, intense character studies, or evocative depictions of the landscape. The story-line was, in theory, a compelling one but I found the pacing too slow for me to care overly much.

Or, if she does, it probably won't be true love's kiss to awaken her. ![]() Once Upon a Dream is the tale of a Sleeping Beauty who might never wake up.

They learn color recognition, letter recognition, and number recognition. Children use fine motor skills to complete the activities. The printables I use aren’t merely worksheets. I also occasionally pull out printables that tie into that theme. When I plan a homeschool preschool unit, I like to choose at least one big craft or activity each week.
