Teacher,
By Pandora (BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Princess Smartypants (Paperback)
My students really enjoyed this story. They liked the fact that so many different and unexpected things happened in the story. After we read the story, each student drew his or her own picture representing favourite parts of "Princess Smartypants".

Finally, A Fairy Tale with a Positive Message,
By A Customer
This review is from: Princess Smartypants (Paperback)
If you worry that exposing your children solely to Disney fairy tales will give them a warped view of the world, read them Princess Smartypants. It's funny, the pictures are fabulous, it's a great story and kids will love it. All the while they will learn a couple of positive messages. You should follow your heart regarding marriage and men who don't respect women should watch out. Princess Smartypants has an excellent life. She spends her days with her animals and is happy. Her only problem is she is plagued by suitors who only want to marry her for her wealth and beauty, but do not appreciate her for who she really is. She gives into pressure from her parents and agrees to hear out her suitors, but cleverly devises a plan to make them all go away. She challenges them to a fitness test which none of them can pass. She is quite happy until the last one comes along and passes all of her tests. He is cocky and overconfident and his tragic flaw is that he didn't think Princess Smartypants was so smart at all. So she kisses him and turns him into a toad. All the other princes run away and she lives happily ever after with her animals. My description may sound heavy, but the story is told with much wit and charm. My four year old loves the story, much more so than the Disney stories. I highly recommend this book for all parents of toddlers. I think it teaches young children that there are alternative routes to happiness, but it never takes itself too seriously.

Who said feminists couldn't be funny,
By saliero (NSW Australia) - See all my reviews Princess Smartypants DOES get to live happily ever after in this story, but not in the usual way. My son loves it. I overheard him telling a friend the other day that "some people don't WANT to get married". That's OK, isn't it?
