Review

Surrounded by snacks Princess always managed to feel sick when others asked her to perform a family task. She progresses from sitting glumly to painting her face green until a party invitation arrives. This princess may not be the role model parents wish their little ones to emulate. It is worth noting that Princess is served jelly beans even after the doctor recommended green vegetables. There is however a moral here that is well worth the read, children who over indulge in snacks will get sick. Parents are offered the opportunity to discuss family chores and cooperation while they read the pages of this title.

The art work is dramatic and silly but I wonder why Ross keeps Princess in her night gown throughout the book. Certainly little girls prefer a variety of royal outfits. Purchase this where other princess titles are popular.

Overall Book Score: fair
