Sassafras: The True Confessions of a Poodle Princess [Hardcover]

Lynn Hirshfield (Author), Dena Fishbein (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up

When an exceedingly scruffy poodle is groomed after being rescued by an animal shelter, she is found to be a very rare breed of poodle thought extinct long ago—the Royal Bedrosian Long-Necked Spotted Poodle! Sassie quickly becomes accustomed to the high life as a Princess and turns unbearably snotty and demanding: Regular dog food does not fit her standards, and she simply cannot be seen on an ordinary leash . But when all of Sassie’s preening goes to her head, she ends up back in the animal shelter . However, in the end, Sassie learns a little lesson in humility—and friendship and loyalty . (Although she knows that once a Princess, always a Princess!)

This book is absolutely adorable. A classic. The writing is clever and witty and the "moral" of the story works for all ages - take pride in who you are - just not too much!
