The Worst Princess by Anna Kemp - OPTIONAL

Kemp, Anna  The Worst Princess  Illustrated by Sara Ogilvie  Random House, 2012.  $16.99  PICTURE BOOK  Content: G.  

Princess Sue is waiting for her Prince Charming.  She has read all of the books on how to be a princess and just when she thinks there isn’t going to be a prince for her, Prince Charming shows up.  Prince Charming has plans for Sue, where she is his traditional sit in the castle looking pretty type of princess, but Princess Sue wants some adventure.  She teams up with a dragon that Prince Charming has been fighting and flies off with him to have her adventures.  

There are better girl power books out there that encourage girls that they can have adventures too and don’t have to conform to what a man wants them to be-such as The Paperbag Princess by Robert Munsch.   The illustrations aren’t great and the story was a bit predictable, but little girls might like the independent princess.  

EL (K-3)-OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
