I Am Really a Princess

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.

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

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!

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!

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.
