Brothers of the Knight

<b>Debbie Allen's contemporary retelling of<i> </i>the classic tale <i>The Twelve Dancing Princesses </i>with illustrations from Kadir Nelson!</b><br><br> Reverend Knight can't understand why his twelve sons' sneakers are torn to threads each and every morning, and the boys aren't talking. They know their all-night dancing wouldn't fit with their father's image in the community. Maybe Sunday, a pretty new nanny with a knack for getting to the bottom of household mysteries, can crack the case. This modern, hip retelling of the classic tale <i>The Twelve Dancing Princesses </i>bursts with vibrant artwork and text that's as energetic as the twelve toe-tapping Knight brothers themselves. <br><br><b>"A funky, fresh adaptation." —<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>"This is a high-flying alternative to the tale's usual dainty renditions." <i>—Kirkus Reviews</i></b>
