the rumpelstiltskin problem by vivian vande velde

So, this review will be a bit different than those that have come before, because this book is not one adaptation of Rumpelstiltskin, but six. And so she set off to do what every bothered author does – write until she’s fixed the problem. Summary: The story of Rumpelstiltskin has long bothered author Vivian Vande Velde. The Rumpelstiltskin Problem by Vivian Vande Velde If I thought she had a paper copy, I’d ask Katie to borrow Cloaked in Red…because I just know it’s got to be good.Hey there! Longer post today, but to be fair, I was essentially reviewing six stories! Sorry for the delay, and enjoy! In total, this one took me about an hour, maybe less to read. Why is the king such a douche? Why does Rumpel want a baby? Why is the Miller such a bad father? What else is going on behind the music? This lady has the answers and she’s good at it. Triple V aims to answer all of the questions that the original Rumpelstiltskin leaves out. A fat little gnome who reminds me of a happier house elf? Yep. Each of the short Rumpelstiltskin takes in this book were short, sweet, and awesome. This book was a great quick distraction this weekend, when I had 5-10 minutes to spare. Same goes for The Rumpelstiltskin Problem.

And there were jokes that we totally got. Sure, it was most definitely written for a younger audience, but hey…SO WAS TOY STORY! And we laughed. (The other package was 4 boxes of K-cups for my Keurig of JOY) A little over 100 pages of pure joy, this book was an absolute delight. ĪNYWAYS! Opening the package to find this adorable little hard cover that I paid like $2 for was incredibly exciting for me.

I received 2 packages, a letter (OK invitation to a baby shower), and I got my very own PO box, so that I have an address that isn’t my home in my contact information! Not only all of this exciting stuff, but also our mail carrier, who is patient and wonderful even though I stalk her asking about packages (because they won’t leave them outside our door…and then I have to wait until 8am the next day, and it’s very annoying) had already brought the packages inside with the help of our neighbors. I got the book on a really great day for me and the US Postal Service. Of course, I’m not used to waiting this long for a freakin’ book…so I was a little antsy. So Katie at Words for Worms recently reviewed Cloaked in Red by Vivian Vande Velde and after reading her positive review I was stoked, because I was waiting for my paper copy (yes, a real live book) of The Rumpelstiltskin Problem, also by Vivian Vande Velde, to arrive in the mail.
