A spunky new series for any girl who dreams of being a princess. The book even looks magical --- it's printed on pink pages!
Printed on PINK pages!
You are royally NOT invited . . .
Juliet Henry is turning seven. For her birthday, she's planning a pink princess party --- for girls only! They'll all wear pink clothes, make pink crowns, and eat pink food. Who wants boys at a princess party, anyway?
But Billy and the other boys in Juliet's class are mad. They love birthday parties . . . and hate being left out. If this pink princess isn't careful, her loyal subjects could ruin her birthday bash!
In this book, I liked how Juliet wasn't going to let the boys come to her birthday party, but then she decided it was fun last year to have them come. So she decided to have the boys be princes and dragons and the girls be princesses. And it reminded me of when I was younger and I let the boys be princes at my birthday party. We even hit a dragon pinata!
First-grade drama. Juliet learns about individuality and friendship in this early chapter book set at school and home. The colorful pages in this series are a nice touch.
A pretty cute, fun, and nostalgic read, and likely relatable for 6- to 10-year-old girls!
The only objectionable thing I noticed is how rich and fortunate the main character, Juliet, was. I don't have anything against rich and fortunate, but both her parents had well-paying jobs, they listened to everything she said, and they had good advice. A lot of girls today don't have parents like Juliet, and when they do, it's likely they are not well-off. In short--although Julia might love pink, princesses, and pink princesses like a lot of girls (and nowadays, some boys), her setting was one most kids don't have, leaving Juliet's story idealistic and the real-life stories of real-life kids more mediocre and even sad.
3.5/5 stars--not for there being a rich girl and caring parents, but because although the book was good, it wasn't the most amazing in the world.
I thought it taught me a life lesson you cannot force people to do your thing that’s not fair so if you don’t think that’s right, then don’t do it.Juliet taught me that in that book.it’s important to show your feelings to others. I love that part when Juliet was happy that everyone was happy. And getting along nicely.
The book was great. Me and my daughter love to read this book together at least 2 to 3 times a week. I'm in 12th grade and my boyfriend loves to see our daughter smile. So he bought it for her when she picked it up and started flipping through the pages.since we've stared reading this book she has started talking more and now loves the color PINK. i think this is a great book for moms and daughters too read together for bonding time together.
This is a very pink book (even the pages) but my daughter loved it. She would read part, then I would read it. Once was enough though. I don't see her asking for this one again. Glad we borrowed it from the library.
A girl who loves pink and is planning her own all girls party. Some girl vs boy stuff. A girl learning that not everyone likes what she likes, and that's ok.
I liked the story because Juliette was a pink princess for her party and she didn't want any boys to come.But her birthday last year was the best birthday party ever when she invited the guys. Even if you're a girl it doesn't matter if you have a fairy arty or a pink party. You should never be afraid to invite boys!
I wish that the lessons on not including other children based on gender stereotypes and on being "bossy" were brought home a little harder. The conclusion wrapped it all up quickly. Natalie needs positive examples of how to lead without taking over and of boys and girls breaking out of stereotyped gender roles. This book came close, but ultimately didn't get there.
honestly i read this book as a joke, but im not gonna lie i enjoyed it. it was a fun book to read and i think if i was a lot younger this book would probably be my favorite book. if you're just looking for a kids book, i would say go with this one. i think 30 minutes reading this book was NOT wasted.
I’m giving this book five stars almost purely because of nostalgia. It was the first “chapter” book I read as a little girl and will therefore always hold a special place in my heart. It is very simple and stereotypical, but that’s kind of what makes it endearing. The pictures are also very cute. Overall, a relatable book for beginning readers.
This chapter book is perfect for the younger elementary school aged girls. It's about a girl who is having a birthday party. It keeps you wondering what is going to happen.
I read it when I am little. So now it's kind of babyish. So I won't suggest teenagers read it but children I think would enjoy it. P.S. This book is soooooooo pinkish
