The Worst Princess

The Worst Princess

Picture book
Any little girls (and moms) who are not big fans of beautiful
and docile princesses who are rescued by princes and swept off to
happily ever afters will adore Anna Kemp and Sara Ogilvie's The Worst
Princess.
Princess Sue is miserably lonely. She's read all the
instruction books and followed their advice and remained stuck in a
tower. When a prince arrives on the scene she is elated...
...until she realizes he's taking her to a tower in his castle.
Her pink bedroom is festooned with girly girl dresses with hoop skirts
and tiny waists, dainty high heel shoes, and other impractical
accessories. A peacock strolling through seems to symbolize what the
prince has in mind when he reminds her that he us to wear the armor
and she is to wear the dresses.
"Just smile a lot and twist your curls.
Dragon-bashing's not for girls."
He may have it wrong though. When Sue spies a fearsome dragon
from her tower she comes up with a most excellent plan for rescue from
the prince she has termed a twit.
On a personal note, I was one of the girls who wanted to be the knight
and leave the being rescued role to other girls. Still do. Always
will.
A great big shout goes out to my sisters of all ages who are
determined that there's a lot more to life than being rescued and
protected.
