I loved this book! Awesome non-fiction book for young readers. This is a wonderful book. Not only is the subject matter fascinating, but the design and writing style are very entertaining. This is the perfect book to make reading non-fiction appealing to young readers.

Growing up, I thought I didn’t like non-fiction books. Many I tried to read as a kid were overly simplified or extremely boring. This one combines history, myth, and fairy tales and rolls them into an awesomely engaging book that is entertaining as well as educational.

Lots of facts and great illustrations. I can’t get enough of this design.

The book goes through a simple history of some of the world’s most famous princesses (real and fictional). From Greek mythology all the way to modern princesses, this is a fascinating book that shows the evolution of princess ideology. I really liked how empowering the book was at the end.

There is even a game board included in the pages where you can compete with your friends for the crown. Fun and hilarious. And the best part? Everyone has to go to the chapel where a dice roll will determine if you have to marry a prince or not. The fact it’s even an option to not get married and do charitable works instead is pretty awesome.

Great book. A fascinating read. There are a lot of pop culture references (Kardashians) that may date the book, but it is overall a wonderfully entertaining read.
