Florizella has got to be one of the most likeable fairy story heriones around. She is smart, sweet, and not at all intimidated by her lack of beauty. Florizella's adventures begin when she finds a pack of wolf cubs in the forest, and decides to bring them home to the castle as pets. Despite the fact she is a princess, she is like most youngsters in that her parents deeply disapprove of having wild animals in the house. Florizella, being clever, finds a way to disguise the wolves... and that is where the story gets interesting. For those about 7-11 in age, as a parent, I could hardly reccommend more appealing fare!

Florizella is exactly the kind of role model that I want for my 5 year old daughter, and the kind of princess that I want both her and my 3 year old son to read about. She is clever, confident, independent, brave, and when she is queen, she plans to use the royal coffers to build hospitals to keep people healthy and homes for people who don't have them. Just as important, there is plenty of action and fun in the story to keep the kids interested. A great read-aloud for preschool and up. We can't wait to start Florizella and the Giant!
