review 1: As Princess Ruby's birthday approaches, her father and their servants. work hard to fulfill her every wish. But the princess is spoiled rotten and selfish beyond belief. She even pitches tantrums when she doesn't get her way or doesn't receive everything she wanted. Her obliging father brings forth even more gifts, causing the palace to topple and trap the poor man. As rescuers work desperately to save him, Ruby realizes that all the presents in the world can't substitute for a father's love. She forsakes her selfish ways and learns to live simply. The text's message is not surprising although it does provide an important lesson about the things that should matter to us. The mixed media illustrations are lively, filled with lots of pink and interesting detail, and show Pri... morencess Ruby at her worst as she clamors for more, more, more at first. The inclusion of servants and her pet dog as well other shoppers in the images adds another layer to the book.
review 2: Princess Ruby's birthday is coming. She has a long list of demands for gifts. Her father the king is going to make sure that Princess Ruby receives everything she wants. Then her birthday finally arrives and no gift is good enough for what she wants. Her father has given her so many presents that the house begins to crumble with a terrible outcome. Amongst the rubble, Ruby realizes that with all of the presents she only wants one thing... her dad. This is a wonderful story about a bratty, spoiled girl realizing what's really important. No gifts will ever be enough when tragedy strikes and your family is in danger. less
