4 stars

This is another pink spined wonder. My four year old loves this book and brings it home from the library over and over and over again. Luckily, I don't mind reading it.

Synopsis

Lily-Rose May was always a wonderful good natured child. Then one day her father gave her peas to eat. She refused. Even after her dad did everything he could to hide the peas, she would not eat them as they made her sick. Her father called the doctor her gave the diagnosis of being a princess. Lily-Rose May was then shipped off to the castle to become a princess.

My Thoughts

This was a great book. The pictures were fun. The story was fun. And it helps kids learn that foods are great and that there is always some sort of sauce or dip or something they can put on foods to make them more palatable.

I loved how the Doctors diagnosis was that Lily-Rose May was a princess. That was awesome. I also liked what made Lily-Rose May have a change of heart towards the peas.

I found this book clever and engaging and quite simply a delight.
