The Rescue Princesses

review 1: I read this a couple of months ago as part of my plan to read at least of each of the popular series for children that we stock in the bookshop (where I work part-time), and decided that the grandchildren would enjoy it being read to them. James is 6 and Zenobia is 5, and so as part of their (home)schooling they've been listening to this over a few weeks. I'm not sure James was that interested, but, on the other hand, he didn't complain. Zenobia, like many 5-year-olds, just loves princesses, so she was thrilled with it. She's been wearing her own tiara all around the house, and when she wore it on our walk up to the library the other day, she was delighted with the greetings she received!We will be reading more of the series - the princesses do love their gorgeous clothes,... more but also love things like outdoor climbing frames and learning to be ninjas. And they determine to work together to rescue any animals in distress. So, plenty of girly stuff, plenty for stretching outside of that, and a lovely caring-for-those-in-need message.
review 2: My princess fanatical 4 year old is in love with this book. These princesses include all the fancy trappings-- ball gowns, tiaras, velvety cloaks, but also have a sense of adventure-- exited to play on a zip-line and working together with others to help animals. This book promotes more than a princess being a pretty face-- statements about using your brain to figure out problems and working together to help others encourage self esteem and Provide excellent role models as well. Also,there is a full size picture every couple pages to help keep little ones focused on this early chapter book less
