The first children's book review I am doing is for the book shown above: "Good Night, Princess Pruney Toes" Written by: Lisa McCourt and Illustrated by: Cyd Moore.
I picked this book up because it was a princess book, and as a female, I am sort of automatically drawn to a book about an adorable princess, especially if she animals surrounding her on the cover. The title interested me automatically, so when I saw the title and the cover, I felt like I just needed to read it.
The book was about a little girl who was getting ready for bed, she is in the bathtub and her father goes to help her. When he tells her to dry off he refers to her as "Princess Pruney Toes," this is where she gets the princess idea in her head. She only takes princess-like things, and her father goes along with it like almost any parent would do. She eats a star jam sandwich, wears a little gown, pretends the dog is a dragon. The most touching part was when her "princess wish" was for her to always be her dad's favorite little princess.
This book is an adorable book to show the love between a little girl and her father, and the use of imagination in a children's mind. It shows us how kids are allowed to use their imagination and should be encouraged by their parents.
