Review
"It's safe to say that Peepers curtsies to a different drummer...It's a light regal romp, forgoing the need for any extra pomp or circumstance."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Given how syrupy Princess tales can be, Princess Peepers is treat...The language in the tale is lively and Tuesday Mourning's bright graphic digital collage illustrations fit this perfectly perky princess." --Children's Literature
"For little girls clamouring for all things princess, this book has a fun spin on traditional princesses. The cartoon illustrations are charming and worth flipping through themselves." --The Bewitched Librarian
"Peepers is irreverent enough to please tomboys but princess-y enough for the princess-obsessed."
--The Horn Book Guide to Children's and Young Adult Books
K-Gr 2 Princess Peepers and her oversize specs return for another misadventure. This time, the nonconforming protagonist needs to find a pet to enter in the Royal Academy for Perfect Princesses pet show. Her stuck-up classmates reprimand Peepers when she brings a bee and a frog to school, so she heads to the forest in search of a cuddly animal. When she accidentally trips and loses her glasses, she stumbles upon what she thinks is a flying unicorn. Her find turns out to be a dragon that wins the Most Unusual Pet Award. The predictable story is accompanied by colorful spreads that alternate with episodic drawings containing lots of white space. The stylized characters are drawn with skinny arms and legs topped by huge heads that allow Princess Peepers s snobby classmates to show their distaste via their annoyed facial expressions. --School Library Journal, April, 2011

By working mom (northern , CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Princess Peepers Picks a Pet (Hardcover)
This book was cute, my 4.5 year old daughter and I both enjoyed it. This is a sweet story of a little princess who happens to wear glasses and marches to the beat of her own drum. She goes in search of a pet. Her pet choices are funny and not what would be expected when she loses her glasses. The illustrations are well done. Fun story.
