Much too dainty-fairy & easy-leveled-reader for me now, of course. But I probably would have liked it more when I was a little girl. And Jerry Smath's illustrations save it from being too twee and give it some life.

Oh my! I found this book on a whim, and I love it.

Did anyone else catch that only darker skin-toned princess was given a negative trait? That she didn't help and was just playing basketball? Looks like a cute easy reader fantasy book, so why have that racist undertone? Will not have on my self at home and please send recommendations for better fairy/royalty books.

Strange that the only princess of color was called lazy and only played basketball. So many kids books have racist undertones! Incredibly uncool.

An enjoyable pretty story but Loses its stage 1 reading level with hyacinth, lilies and even buttercup!
Nice little story.
