Brothers of the Knight

<b>Debbie Allen's contemporary retelling of<i>&#160;</i>the classic tale <i>The Twelve Dancing Princesses </i>with illustrations from Kadir Nelson!</b><br><br>&#160;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.&#160;<br><br><b>A funky fresh adaptation.&#160;&#151;<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>This is a high-flying alternative to the tale's usual dainty renditions.&#160;<i>&#151;Kirkus Reviews</i></b>
