Rapunzel: Cuento vs. realidad

Are there any elements of truth in Rapunzel?
Hair can be strong enough to hold a person, rapunzel is a vegetable you can eat, and towers can be 60 feet tall. Of course there wouldn’t be an evil witch next door. Integrating science and culture with literacy, this book adds funny “Truth Time” sidebars to a retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “Rapunzel”, explaining facts about hair, gardens, falling, and more. Translated into North American Spanish. Includes discussion of fairy tale traits, fictional vs. real comparison chart, and a glossary.
Perfect for young students just learning about fiction and nonfiction and real versus not real, this title supports CCSS standards for reading literature.
