K-Gr 2—Little Princess never gets sick, unless, of course, she is asked to do something she doesn't want to do. Everything from walking her dog to cleaning the cat box to teaching a horse to jump makes her suddenly ill and unable to help, even if she was feeling fine seconds before. Luckily, she makes a remarkable recovery after receiving an invitation to attend a friend's birthday party. Unfortunately, after a day of overeating and dancing, our little princess suddenly is a bit green around the gills. Ross's trademark watercolor and pen and ink illustrations will guarantee check outs if this series is popular in your library. A supplemental purchase for most libraries.—Brooke Newberry, La Crosse Public Library, WI
The Little Princess is sick when it's time to go to school, clean the cat box, and so on. Miraculously, she recovers when it's time to go to a birthday party, where she gets her comeuppance. As usual with this satisfyingly nonchalant series, there's no more than two lines of text below each illustration, allowing the visual humor to reign.
