I am an author/illustrator as well as a nanny. From all points of view this book is wonderful and I tell everyone I meet about it. The story is well written with a great message for girls who are swept up with the "Disney Princess" mentality. It is also written in rhyme and has a great flow. It is not too long so little kids (ages 3 and up) are able to maintain their attention, and do so willingly. Also, as the parent or care giver, it is fast paced and short enough that you won't get sick of reading it out loud or dread reading it at bead time. The illustrations add to the story, they are beautifully rendered in watercolor. Both children and adults alike will enjoy this book!

What a great story! It's inventive and original -- yet follows a "Traditional" meaning. My daughter absolutely loves to read this book before bed. Highly recommend!

The monster princess is a heroine my daughter can learn from. She is so cute! I enjoyed the theme of the book, the way it is written (poetic form), and the beautiful illustrations. We checked it out at our local library and now I'm ordering it. This will be a favorite bedtime story for years to come!

We actually got this book from the library, and enjoyed it so much, that we plan to purchase it. It has great pictures, a good read for parents, little girls will love it and it has a wonderful message in it to be happy with who you are. I highly recommend this book!

I can't speak highly enough about this book! The illustrations have a sublime, ethereal quality. But perhaps more importantly to parents who no doubt will be asked to read it again and again, it is a sincere pleasure to read aloud, providing plenty of opportunity for silly voices in melodic, lyrical rhymes! It was such a hit when I read it to my daughter's preschool class, that several parents asked about it later -- and subsequently purchased it! It perfectly balances my 4-1/2 year old's love of all-things princess-y and my desire to provide her strong, smart girl/monster role models! :) FIVE HUGE STARS!!!!
