Just reread this and its super cute. Its all about how what we expect to happen is not always what actually happens and even though her vacation seemed boring it was really exciting!

When Posey's school has a week long vacation, she hopes her family will be going on a trip like some of her classmates. She is disappointed when her mother announces they are having a relaxing stay-cation. How will she be able to write a fun essay when she goes back to school?
The older you get, the more you realize how fantastic just relaxing at home is after all the hustle and hustle of life. I enjoy reading this series with my daughter.

My daughter (who is 6) received an advance copy of the newest Princess Posey adventure and reports that she "loved it."
She says that it is about Posey's upcoming Spring vacation from school. Posey is afraid that she will be bored during her time off, but quickly finds that vacation life is full of little adventures, from new bikes to tooth loss.
This is the second book of the Princess Posey Series my daughter has read and she has enjoyed them both immensely. Like the other books in the series, The Crazy, Lazy Vacation is geared towards First Grade readers. It is a nice blend of text & small illustrations. My daughter devoured it in 2 or 3 sittings.
She is already looking forward to Posey's next chapter, The First Grade Play.

In Princess Posey and the Crazy, Lazy Vacation, Posey is disappointed that her family is staying home for Spring Break while everyone else seems to be traveling somewhere. It turns out, though, that plenty of exciting things happen at home, including losing a tooth and learning to ride a two-wheeler! Often, series books seem to diminish in quality as volumes are added to the series, but that has never been the case with these books. Stephanie Greene continues to pinpoint the precise things that matter to first graders and she turns them into thoughtful, comforting stories that show true empathy for the child reader. This is another well-written and engaging story about a very realistic and likable little girl.

It's cute how Stephanie Greene makes everything seem like puppies and kitties and roses and sunshine. It's a very refreshing take on life as a first grader and my first grader LOVES Posey's antics. In the newest book in this series, Posey finds herself facing a very boring-sounding spring break that turns into an exhilarating adventure.

In this 10th book in the Princess Posey series, precocious first-grader Posey is worried that her stay-at-home spring break will be boring. Luckily, Posey soon learns that staying home doesn't mean missing out on the fun!

Fun vacations don't always mean going away somewhere amazing.

Posey isn't sure a staycation will be exhilarating, but she and her family manage to find plenty to keep busy and interested.

Cute series about first grader Posey and her friends. Great for transitioning readers but some vocabulary a bit advanced for the intended age group to be able to read aloud on their own.

Another great addition to the series. My 6 yo girls can't wait to read more!

A lazy Spring Break? Not so much. Posey learns to be brave and not give up on new things.
