OK, the subject is didactic: child won't eat vegatables. But the solution is unique, and although she eventually makes the choice the parents want, the __choice__ is her own.

Great illustrations, quirky humor, fun book!

I got this book for my daughter who is 4 and this is her. She is very Picky!

In my search for non-conventional princess books I came across this little gem. I have a 4 year old daughter, and I try to find books with positive role models for her, rather than the disney princess stories which focus on beauty, image, and being rescued by a prince. This story, about a princess who won't eat her vegetables fits the bill, and has the added bonus of illustrating in a humorus way the benefits of eating your vegetables. Other plusses: the princess is described as good at math and smart. In the end she invents an airplane and is a pilot. (No discussions about her getting married.) There are no discussions about her beauty. Shows how seeds grow into plants. The illustrations are beautiful and creative, too. Well done as always Marjorie Priceman! (I also love by the same author Rachel Fister's Blister and How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World.)

This book was okay,because it was about this princess and she did not think anything was perfect enough for her she never ate the finest meals, the most comftorble bed or the best jewelry
