Princess Books...

I love books about princesses and princes, and basically any fairy tale books.  I love when books talk about girls being little princesses because I felt that exact way growing up!
I stumbled across this book the other day, and just had to read it: Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?



I LOVE, LOVE this book! The title and picture just grabs you and makes you smile! It is written by Carmela LaVigna Coyle, who was inspired by her own daughter's question about princesses.  The illustrations are fabulous and so funny! Mike Gordon created the illustrations through line art and computer generated colors.
The book is a simple children's book about a girl's curiosity...do I be a princess and stay inside or can I be a princess and do other normal things, like snort when laughing?  It is a great book that takes the reader through all the questions and answers in such a positive way; implying that readers can do anything they want.  The book is written in rhyme, and encourages kids to be themselves.
It is a great book for kids of all ages to understand the positive message!
