The Princess Who Saved Herself by Greg Pak

4.0

The Princess Who Saved Herself is a picture book about a princess who likes to play rock and roll on her electric guitar all day and night, to the Evil Queen's dismay. The Queen repeatedly tries to send her minions to poop on the Princess's party, but each time it ends up going horribly wrong! The artwork is pretty cute and it has a sweet ending with a positive and empowering message. The illustrations of the adorable bee made me smile most of all. At times I felt the rhyme scheme was a little awkward, and I think this story could easily have been longer and in the form of a graphic novel for middle grade readers as well, I really would have liked to see more of the Princess's world. I definitely think if you have a kiddo who is into princesses, music, or both, they will enjoy reading this story with you! The book is also apparently based off of/inspired by the song The Princess Who Saved Herself by Jonathan Coulton which would be really fun to listen to with your kiddo as well!
