Not All Princesses Dress in Pink by Rebecca Guay, Jane Yolen
4.0
This is a nice alternative to the disgustingly girly, pink-taffeta wearing, needing to be rescued princesses that are omnipresent in our culture. In typical Jane Yolen fashion, the text rhymes without being sing-songy or saccharine. The illustrations are fun and engaging. The ever-present sparkly crown was a hit.
Despite avoiding Disney princesses like the plague, our three-year-old daughter has taken a shine to the whole princess phenomenon. Rather than banning princesses, which could lead to a more intense interest in them, we are trying to give her some alternatives, preferably strong princesses who don't fit the stereotypes we object to. This book really fits the bill.
