"A new spin on "Sleeping Beauty" told from the perspective of a little mouse who can't get to sleep because of the princess's very loud snoring"--
It's the night before Mouse's wedding, and all through the house, not a creature is sleeping—especially not Mouse. Just as he tucks himself in for a night of sweet dreams, he's jolted awake by a castle-shaking roar:
SNOOOOGA-SNOOOOOM! KER-SCHUPPP!
Is it a monster A bear No, it's Sleeping Beauty herself...snoring. Desperate for shut-eye, Mouse hatches the perfect plan: He'll find a prince to kiss Beauty and wake her up! But things don't exactly go as planned when Prince Max discovers that his bride-to-be is making such ghastly noises. Will Max take one for the royal team and give Beauty a kiss to wake her up, or will he leave the princess asleep for another hundred years
