 Reinforces stereotypes December 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The illustrations are charming. Having written that, I have to say that I regret having purchased this book for my granddaughter. While I expected it to break stereotypes - after all, a hiking princess sounds like a strong female role model - it actually reinforces them. Once again, we're given the idea that it is perfectly acceptable to judge girls (and women) by their appearance. One page even mentions having a "bad hair day." The last page is the kicker, though, because it has a large, shiny mirror that the reader can use to decide for herself whether or not she looks like a princess. Ugh.
If you are interested in a story about a princess who defies stereotypes, buy The Paper Bag Princess by Robert N. Munsch instead.
 Great Father-Daughter book December 1, 2008
The set-up of this wonderful book has a mother redefining what it means to be a princess to her young daughter. On the surface you'd assume that this is a book for mothers to read to daughters, but it's also a great book for fathers and daughters. I've read it to my daughter multiple times and now at seven she reads it to me. The illustrations are wonderful as well.
Highly recommend.
Cutest book! October 24, 2008
This is a cute book. I first saw it at a gift shop in Yellowstone park but you know how vacations can be ad I didn't want to lug it everywhere we went the rest of the day so I waited until we got home to see if I could still get it and of course amazon had it. I purchased it for my 3 year old who just had to have it. She will be getting it for Christmas! I know she will love it! I've read it and it is darling!
 Hooray for real princesses September 22, 2008
What an adorable little book! Running with the idea that many little girls toy with the idea that they are basically princesses, this book serves to celebrate individuality. The pictures are charming and the message heartwarming.
Great for more than the 4-8 set it says! April 28, 2008
My 2 year old loves this book! And it's so wonderful to see a book that says, yeah, be a princess, but that doesn't mean you can be fun and make messes too! You can still be a real person. This book is fantastic!
