Who needs “happily ever after?” These 6 princesses turn traditional fairy tales - like Sleeping Beauty and the Frog Prince
- inside out. Fairy
godmother? See ya later! Glass slipper? How silly! These royal ladies fight dragons and rescue princes all on their own. The text, which changes
font and SIZE throughout the book, is as unconventional as the stories themselves. Whether read aloud or read alone,
Don’t Kiss the Frog! will inspire girls of all ages.
The Clumsy Princess Princess Grace has lo-o-o-ng legs, BIG feet and keeps falling flat on her face. So when her father, the king, tells her to wear a ball gown at the Grand Jousting Tournament, Princess Grace surprises everyone by wearing a suit of armor instead. Grace knocks down a few knights to win the tournament – and win her father’s respect.
The Princess Exchange
Be careful what you wish for, Princess Jane. When her fairy godmother agrees to help her switch places with her cousin, Princess Prunella at Pepperhearst Palace, Jane finds out that living as a "proper" princess with drafty castles and scratchy ballgowns can be a royal pain.
The Princess and the P.E. Princess Wendy was hopeless at sports. She couldn’t run fast or jump high or catch a ball – until she gets a little help from a friendly frog.
