Who doesn't love a good princess story that doesn't involve prince charming or a fairy godmother?! ME! (I love a children's book that reminds me of what is really important in life.) Sometimes after the unmagical life I've lived, I find it hard to read stories to my daughter of girls that twitch their noses and life takes a turn for the best. Come on, I just want what every realist wants, a story that is entertaining, filled with woodland creatures, princesses, castles, royal balls, and honest to goodness life lessons.
This book was quite refreshing and I was totally enchanted with the illustrations by Alexandra Boiger. D.J. MacHale, the author, is amazing! You won't want to miss the Monster Princess activities on the website either. Just in case any of you will be vacationing in Southern California (Oceanside to be exact) around October 2nd...drop by Barnes and Noble to see the author.
Hmmm, do you think my husband would approve a trip to California for my birthday (Oct. 4th)? I mean technically, since I share my birthday with my three year old son who also loved this book, I could say it is what Josh asked for! Run and check out this book while I go check out Travelocity!
