Customer Reviews

Book for Alicia

This book is colorful and fun; just the right gift for my 30+ daughter who always told me growing up that her other mother would never make her work like I did. Book arrived promptly in excellent condition. Thank you for great service.

A hilarious kids' book

In I Am Really A Princess, a girl thinks she is a princess- she thinks she should get a pony, have no school, have a lot of sleepovers. It would be a wonderful life. It is not at all realistic because she is just imagining all of it. I recommend this book to kindergarteners and first graders because there are detailed beautiful pictures. JG

Grandmother of 2 Princesses!

Oh yes, we can relate to this wonderful tale! It isso "right on" for those of us who have these royal ladies in our families!

For every little girl who's convinced that she's a princess!

Carol Diggory Shields has hit paydirt with the excellent "I Am Really a Princess." This rollicking tale begins with the irresistible line, "I am really a princess. And when my true parents, the king and queen, find out how I've been treated around here, they are going to be very upset."From this beginning, we are launched into a list of how our heroine will be living her life differently once the enormous injustice of her current situation is understood. She'll have no chores, no homework, no pet-feeding duties. The king and queen will spoil her rotten! Paul Meisel's illustrations are colorful and cartoony in a cheerful way. They complement the text beautifully (check out his reverse version of a damsel-in-distress scene!). Lots of fun for any little girl who's secretly convinced that she's a member of royalty!

Great for that little girl who KNOWS she is special

In this story, a little girl describes how her life SHOULD be, since she is really a princess, and not a little girl! Of course, she is royalty only in her mind, but that only makes this story more funny! A great book for that precocious little girl in your life.
