Love this story...empowers princesses!

This story is a welcome change to the typical princess story where she requires rescue. The Tough Princess is able to rescue others and advocates for herself - what every little girl needs to be able to do in life!
funny!

Fantastic! A stereotype-smashing book! King does knitting, cooking, queen fixes the roof, princess thinks for herself. I laughed aloud about the King's plan to "annoy a bad fairy" so the fairy would cast an evil spell.. Fun pictures! Minimal text, not too long. Fairy #3 is pretty scary-looking though, so might scare younger kids.. Age 4+
Favorite!!!

This book is awesome, and i strongly suggest it to everyone!! I recieved this book when i was only in kindergarten as a gift when my best friend moved away, and i still have it. It is good motivational book to stay strong and be tough. it also has a different twist to a fairy tale, which is always good!
Inept royals vs. fairytale stereotypes in comic fashion.

The dynastic plans of a bumbling royal family are foiled by the birth of a purposeful daughter. Martin Waddell's tongue in cheek story is matched by Patrick Benson's comic illustrations . The gangly princess setting off to slay dragons on a rickety bicycle, grappling hook and fuzzy dice attached, appeals to parents and children, regardless of gender
