Customer Reviews

Really adorable book!

At one point my daughter had wanted a "Puppy Princess" birthday party, which in and of itself was nearly impossible to find... but then I found this book, and it was PERFECT. We LOVE atypical Princess stories, and this definitely fit the bill! (She wound up having a Little Mermaid party after all that... go figure!)

Children's Book Review: The Dog Princess Fairy Tails

Move over Paris Hilton, there's a new pampered princess in town--a pampered puppy princess that is. This pampered puppy princess is far from petty though, she has her . . . um . . . priorities straight (sorry--the alliteration is positively contagious). My three-year-old daughter loves this book. The photos keep her giggling from cover to cover, while the positive story reinforces the value of friendship, independence, and appreciating what you already have. The puppy photos are enhanced with illustrative effects that transform these adorable doggies into fair tale princesses. Although these puppies are bejeweled, they're not afraid to break a nail. When they lay down for their beauty rest, they dream of things like soccer. This simple story will really resonate with parents who want to foster femininity AND strength. The princess puppies are bedecked with boas and jewels, while demonstrating that style can have substance. The world play and alliteration throughout the book makes the story fun to read out loud and enjoyable for young ears. The large print makes it easy to read while holding the book at arms length and the pink photo captions that accompany each photo are short enough for pre-school children to memorize, allowing them to read along before they actually master reading skills. This picture book will be a fabulous addition to any child's library, especially puppy loving princesses.
