Description

The sound of childrens' books... A set of four Fairy Princess books by Julie Andrews Emma Walton Hamilton , and Christine Davenier 


From Booklist & Amazon: A girl who believes she is really a princess isn't a new premise in children's literature, so it's refreshing to find a very real little girl as our protagonist, especially given a title that evokes an expectation of a more traditionally froufrou young royal. Geraldine (Gerry) just knows she is a princess and narrates the events of her day, offering commentary about her many doubters: “My brother, Stewart, says princesses don't wear sneakers and don't have scabby knees.” Gerry's type of princess isn't too precious; in response to her brother, she asserts, “Fairy princesses are very practical.” Freckled, spiky haired, pink clad, and irrepressible, Geraldine is reminiscent of Eloise. She lets kids know it's not necessary to be prim and proper to be a “real” princess; princesses who just want to have fun will find plenty of that here. Preschool-Kindergarten.
