5.0
This book begins with several fairy tales about princesses, including Thumbelina, Princess Savitri, and Princess Kaguya. The next chapter has royal recipes and instructions for organizing a tea party, a royal ball, or a cottage picnic. There is also a chapter with princess games and activities, and another with crafts for making your own tiara, princess sandals, necklaces, and fancy invitations.
The chapter on "Princess Practices" goes over courtesy and manners including the proper way to set a table, how to curtsy and have proper posture, as well as lessons in horsemanship, music, penmanship, art, fencing, and how to deal with enchantments and poison apples. You will also learn how to say hello in different languages, how to do the princess wave, and be sincerely friendly when meeting foreign dignitaries.
My favorite chapter was the one about "Being a True Princess" with lessons and examples for Kindness, Courage, Gratitude, Honesty, Intelligence, Sensitivity, Forgiving, and Inner Beauty. This chapter asks thoughtful questions and encourages the reader to take action in their own lives and share kindness with others.
I am so delighted with everything in this book! The princesses come from many different cultures including European, African, Indian, and Japanese. There are traditional fairy tales included from many different nations.
Some of the advice is hilarious and imaginative about dealing with magic mirrors and enchanted pumpkins, but some of it is serious and helpful life advice for little girls.
The illustrations are beautiful and colorful showing princesses of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds. I was very impressed with the delicate yet bold style of the artwork. The whole design is elegant and elaborately designed with beautiful borders and lines.
There are also photos of the recipes, food, and crafts that help the reader while baking or making, showing each step of the craft instructions.
This book is perfect for little princesses everywhere!
