Golden Books are the best. Great illustrations and wonderful stories. My[...] old daughter loves to have me read them to her at bedtime.
I had the same books as a child in the 70's.

the book does not inspire the child mainly because of pale pictures. It gives the impretion as though the bppk has been salvaged from flood.

My almost 3-year-old daughter seems to like this story. She loves the pretty baby and when Maleficent appears, she points at Maleficent and says, "she is naughty." :) Illustrations are colorful and pretty. The length is perfect for my daughter. The size is good for her little hands too.
But every time I read it, I wonder why the fairies didn't keep the Princess until AFTER Princess' 16th birthday. Isn't keeping her safe from Maleficent more important than just keeping her away from the handsome stranger? Or did she get pricked after her birthday, even though Maleficent specifically said, "before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday"? If you have watched the DVD, this book may seem to flow well, but if you haven't, you may be confused on why fairies did some things their way.
Later on, those "good" fairies hide their mess-up when they couldn't keep the Princess safe. There was a kind reason behind it, but as a mother, I want to teach my daughter to be truthful even if the truth made me sad. Any parents should understand that even if they try their best, they sometimes can't stop unfortunate events from happening, right?
I also stop when I read those names, "the Shield of Virtue and the Sword of Truth." They sound cool, but the reasons for those namings seem to be missing. They just seemed to be thrown in there.
Other things I notice is that families in Disney are too often incomplete. In this story, both parents are luckily alive, but they are helpless and mostly non-existent in their daugher's life. She was gone for 16 years and as soon as she came back, she got married. Many princesses are happily ever after as long as they meet handsome rich men. It seems that their weaknesses pop out more in books without Disney's strengths such as fun songs and smooth animation.
In the original, there is a lesson parents can learn with their children. Instead of burning the spindles, the King should have taught the Princess not to touch the spindles. At the same time, children can learn that they should be careful when they touch things out of curiosity.
The original may be too lengthy for my daughter at this age, but I think I can wait until she is old enough to understand it. It is fun to be familiarized with Disney princesses, but there are tons of other books that are more suitable for her age.
Like I said, this picture book is appealing to the eyes, so I give 4 stars but cannot compare this book to other original classics.

I was not comfortable about Prince Phillip
whell he was okay but way too tough on Maleficent
first he wacked maleficent's muzzle with the sword
then he K-I-L-L-E-D HER!
what sort of a wacko could ever do that to an endangered creature? prince phillip should get arrested by the cops
do knights worship themselves?
one word c-r-a-z-y!
