Fun, smart, empowered, and still cute as a bug--that's the Hello Kitty of the 21st century. For more than 25 years, Hello Kitty's familiar cartoon face has graced T-shirts, purses, pencils, stickers, advertisements, and books, to the never-ceasing delight of girls and teens. Now, with the onset of grrrl power, Hello Kitty has become more than just another pretty face. She's cool, she's studious, she's creative, she exudes personal style. This little book of big ideas is designed to inspire and motivate girls to become the fashionable, confident, clever captains of their own destiny. Packed with hints and tips, the guide features such chapters as "Witty Kitty" (Hello Kitty urges girls to broaden their brainpower and keep on learning), "Castle Chic" (keeping bedrooms clean, organized, and regularly redecorated), and "Pal Power" (how to be a great friend). There are also plenty of beauty makeover ideas, suggestions for sleepover activities, and extra-simple recipes ("Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on a bowl of hot popcorn," "Personalize a peanut butter sandwich by adding sliced banana"). Browse at will or read the book cover to cover--either way, girls will find "a galaxyful of fun-to-follow tips and tricks for getting the most out of all that you do." Move over, Martha Stewart! (Ages 8 to 12)

From Publishers Weekly
Hello Kitty has it covered in Hello Kitty's Little Book of Big Ideas: A Girl's Guide to Brains, Beauty, Fashion, Friendship & Fun! by Marie Moss. With chapters such as "Witty Kitty" offering tips for sharpening readers' wits (e.g., a list of "12 Things to Get You Thinking"), "Style File" including a "fashion fundamentals checklist," and "Pal Power" covering the "buddy basics," Moss's commentary is pithy and punchy. A chic design with the famous feline at its center makes the whole package a temptation for females of all ages.
