Lillybelle: A Damsel Not in Distress by Joana Pastro

3.0

We are on a “too-da-loo” kick in our house, so I brought this home because that phrase is prominently featured.

Otherwise, this book is exactly what it says it is. LillyBelle is a damsel, a baking, singing, well-mannered damsel, but she refuses to wait for rescue. And in the meantime she makes friends with monsters. The point is a little over-emphasized, and I’m not sure why the ogre was gift-wrapping her, but in the main this was a serviceable read aloud for my newly-five-year-old.
