Great for Combating the Myths of Typical Princess Stories

I love reading this book to my 6 year old daughter. It is such a refreshing alternative to other princess stories (which focus on physical beauty and marrying a wealthy, handsome prince). This book highlights that a true princess is not the one who is beautiful, dressed in fine gowns, being waited on & pampered by servants. A true princess is one who is kind, loving, humble, and a servant. I highly recommend reading this book to your daughter often, especially if she is like mine, who happens to love any princess story. Another excellent book to read to your daughter if she is really into princess stories is Princess and the Kiss. Its story is based on a princess who waits for and carefully screens all of her suitors before she gives away her kiss and her hand in marriage. These 2 books break the myths that you need to be beautiful and be married to a handsome, charming, & wealthy prince in order to live happily ever after.

A VIRTUOUS DAUGHTER! She is worth far moe than rubies!

Dear Parent!HOW RARE!!!We looked near and far for a book like this!Christian parents are deeply concerned with raising their daughters to be pure for marriage. Where on earth can you find books or movies to help reinforce these beautiful ideals that the Lord has given us? How do you raise your precious daughter to be a Proverbs 31 woman... a virtuous woman? This book was one of two we finally found. It focussed on the ages 3 to 12. Nice age range! Our girl is 9. How do you talk about sex without actually dealing with the complex things they are not ready for yet? A book like this gets to the -root- now... you deal with the nitty gritty later when they are better prepared to deal with it. The words used are not sexual in any form in this book. We also recommend:- "The Princess And The Kiss" by Jennie Bishop- Items from "Pearables" website. (also for boys!)- Items from "Doorposts" website. (also for boys!)- "Christian-courtship" website. (If your girl is older!)Enjoy! And happy hunting for products that instill healthy modesty, christian etiquette, honor and such!!!

A wonderful book for young girls

My three daughters, ages 2, 4 and 6 absolutely love this book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story well-written. A great book teaching the value of work, kindness, joy and love. Encourages a strong bond between daughters and their father. If you have young children (boys will like this, too) but especially girls, you should have this book.

One of the books I remember most from my childhood.

O.K. I am just 12. But I have to admit it. I loved this book as a child and still do. The book is one of the few I remember very well. (Even if it was just a few years ago) Parents, get this for your girls. It is the best!

Excellent book!

This book is well written and has beautiful illustrations. Even my son likes this book! It is a wonderful gift to give along with dress up clothes. What a beautiful lesson to teach little girls about being beautiful inside. It will also teach little boys what to look for in a truely beautiful woman when they grow up. Excellent fairytale!
