Review

Second of a new series about a confident and charming girl named Truly, this book will be a strong contender for all young girls. For those who were introduced in "Princess Truly in My Magical, Sparkling Curls" this sequel does indeed sparkle. While dressed in a purple tutu Princess Truly shares her varied skills making the case that she is indeed fabulous. The colors in both background and focal points were well selected to add action and movement. Large areas of white beside dark areas provide the perfect blend and accent.

If only every young girl could feel so sure of herself and exhibit confidence; gifting this title to your favorite little girl is highly recommended. Teachers in K- grade 2 classrooms will want this within their book collection and public librarians should add to their picture book shelves.

Overall Book Score: very good
