Princess Smartypants Rules

By Babette Cole

Book Overview

Princess Smartypants has always preferred her royal pets to a pesky prince, but when she decides it would be lovely to have a baby, nothing can stand in her way! Sure enough, a twist of fate brings her just what she has been hoping for, but she soon realizes babies can be an awful lot of trouble. Perhaps Princess Smartypants wasn't cut out for motherhood after all-but fortunately she knows just who is. . . . Publishers Weeklywrote of the first Princess Smartypants, "Truly comical watercolors in softly glowing colors complement this fairy tale parody perfectly . . . an appealing book for budding feminists." This is a hilarious royal romp, packed with action and drama, from master storyteller Babette Cole.

Customer Reviews

Princess Smartypants Does Rule!

Treat your daughter to a book which teaches her that autonomy and self-sufficiency is okay and that you don't have to get married to be happy. This story is about a girl who does not want to follow the norm.

Princess Smarty Pants Rules

Princess Smarty Pants Rules is my kind of book, utterly delightful with wonderful illustrations. Children of all ages and parents and grand parents will thoroughly enjoy this and the other Smarty Pants books. I love them all and so will you. Go on treat yourself and have as much fun as I did reading this to my grand children.

Another delightful story from Babette Cole

This is a continuation of the original Princess Smartypants which was delightful in itself. Now Princess Smartypants decides she'd like to have a baby of her own. It tells of her adventures with the baby and some creative solutions to the challenges it brings.
