Great gift for a little girl

My almost-5-year-old niece adores everything princess, so I bought this along with "Fairyology" for her birthday, as well as "Fancy Nancy" and "Pinkalicious." This book is her favorite of all of them. She sits and makes up stories based on the things in the pictures, and tells them to her parents! I have to agree to some extent with the other reviewer, regarding the "shallowness" of some of the things in the book. I would have loved to see more about learning how to be responsible and a good leader..but it's a bit difficult to work that sort of thing into this type of format. My niece adores the flip-dresses, and the different jewels and things, and let's face it, that's the appeal of the whole princess thing anyway! And at least there are some bits and pieces about manners and politeness. If you're looking for something fun to entertain your little girl who likes princesses, then this is a great book that can really stimulate some creativity. If you're looking for something to teach life lessons, then you might want to look elsewhere.

Perfect for both young and old!

This book is not only a joy for young girls, but also "young girls at heart." I am buying this book for my 45 year old mother who had fallen in love with it after seeing it in a store. It makes the perfect gift because it is something she would not usually treat herself to. One is never too old to play princess.

My daughter loves this book!

My sister is a 4th Grade teacher, she bought this book at a school book fair. She showed it to the girls in her class and they went crazy for it; the book was then given to my daughter as a gift. My daughter is 6 and looks at it each night before bed.

A Beautiful Book for Girls

"A Princess Primer" is a great book for all little girls! Any girl will love this book reading about a fairy godmother. The fairy godmother tells good stories, gives very helpful advice, and special hints on how to be a princess. This book will make a wonderful gift for any girl who loves reading about princesses! Cynthia Marie Rizzo, author of "Angela and the Princess" and "Julie and the Unicorn"

This is a BEAUTIFUL book

My son is in to the -ology books, Dragonology, Egyptology, well this book was bought in that vein by my grandmother for my 2 year old daughter. This book has all the hidden treasures of any of the -ology books. It has minibooks, slide out items, windows to open and plenty of extras. Everything from how to dress to what to serve at a royal ball is included her for the use of any Princess in the making. My daughter may only be 2 but she is truely a little Princess in training. She loves the pictures and all of the interactive bits. I feel for any young Prince in her future (her distant, DISTANT future) as she will be well versed in her ways:)
