I actually believed the Rumpelstiltskin story for the first time. What does this crazy goblin-like man want with a baby? This book asks and answers all of my questions in a very satisfying way. Why did the father tell the king that his daughter could spin straw into gold when she obviously couldn't? Why was the king so greedy those three nights that he thought the future queen was spinning, and then just content for the rest of his life with the gold that was spun during those three nights? Wouldn't he ask his wife to start spinning again at some point? Rumpelstiltskin wouldn't be around to help, then. Like every time I've ever read or heard this story, I was flooded with questions. I read a Rumpelstiltskin picture book to the third graders last month.
