Comment:
The little princess is hopeless at everything from cooking and drawing to spelling and games, putting all her suitors off, to her parents’ despair. But one day along comes a prince who sees her through different eyes. Vigorously expressive illustrations and a short text with speech bubbles make this a hilarious read. The book is bound to delight young readers with a penchant for occasional naughtiness, and will reassure their parents! [20/05/2010, La Revue des livres pour enfants]. A lesson in independence and self-confidence.
