Review

A whimsical, humorous tale about girls who live on a farm in the Middle of Nowhere. One dreams of being a princess and practices everyday to become the best one possible. The other wants to run away and go on a romantic adventure and be rescued by a prince and live happily ever after of course.

This is a great bedtime book to read with children as it is light and humourous. They will fall in love with Lavender's and Eliza's zany ways of thinking about and doing things.

Funny little "picture in your mind" type descriptive sentences abound throughout the book. And so there will be lots of giggling going on.

"This prince was wearing a crumpled pink dressing gown which seemed to have half a piece of cake stuck to it."

Primitive pencil drawings lend some interest to the book.

Overall Book Score: excellent
