{Synopsis} – Julietta the Carpenter can build almost anything using wood, metal or fabric. Her skills are put to the test when she runs afoul of her corrupt King. This new fairy tale introduces a resourceful heroine to the boys and girls of today.
{My thoughts} – This book is about determination to right the wrongs placed in front of us. The king in this book is mean and doesn’t like anything to not accommodate himself – I can think of a few children with that same perspective. Because of his assumption of how life should be he makes some terrible judgment calls that make his followers unhappy with him.
Julietta is a problem solver. An inventor and the answer to ending the kings terrible reign. If you’d like to know what happens you need to read the book. However, I think this is a wonderful simple, funny attention grabbing book for any child that loves to be read to. My children enjoyed the story and laughed a lot throughout.
The story and the illustrations go together nicely and help to keep the attention of the children. Another well written/ illustrated book by Mr. Sandberg!
Final Conclusion: 5 Star Rating.
