Synopsis:

A fun guide book for God's little princesses. What does it take to be a princess? Sheila Walsh has some important answers to share for every little girl. This trendy design features black & white line art and a two-color pink and black interior. The art will tie to each how-to topic in the book-how to make the best pink cookies, how to wear a tiara, how to earn money at home, how to care for a royal dog, how to be respectful, how to use good manners, how to help Mom, how to follow Jesus, how to act like a princess when things go terribly wrong, and many more.

Esme’s Take:  

This book is all about how to be a princess!  I like the book.  I want to do the tiara page!  [a “match the tiara to the face shape it frames best” page]

What Mom Liked:

Where was this book when I was a kid?  I NEVER learned how to be a princess – other than a royal wave lesson from my siblings!  I was never taught that a princess dries between her toes, or that she keeps her sunglasses sparkling clean…

I knew that this book was going to target an age above my daughter’s, but we have been having a blast with it, anyway.  I gave her the “Flashin’ Fashion” quiz, and surprise – Esmé is TOTALLY “Flashy and Fabulous.”  While she needs a little help with her table settings and phone manners, she had an impressive “High and Mighty” friendship style.

I love how this book channels a desire so many girls have – to be royalty – into a positive, uplifting energy.  There is a great blend of outer and inner beauty concepts, with topics including appearance, hygiene, manners, hospitality, friendship, family, attitude, and a heart for God.

The book is graphically easy to read, broken up into short narratives, illustrations, quotes, quizzes, puzzles, and activities:  perfect for today’s younger generation.

My first thought was that this would make a great addition to a homeschool curriculum – maybe allocating a chapter a week to go through the activities and exercises.  Whether you homeschool or not, however, this is a great book for moms and daughters to walk through together.  It would also be a terrific resource for a Christian tween girls’ club or class at church.

What Mom Didn’t Like:

Got nothing for you…  If I were to add anything to the book, it would be a section on charity/acts of service/global view/missions or something along that line, but I think the book does a fabulous job on the topics it covers.

Thanks to LitFuse Publicity Group for coordinating the review and giveaway copies of this book.
