My Rules for Being a Pretty Princess

32 pp. | Sourcebooks/Jabberwocky | May, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4926-1520-0 $16.99
(4) K-3 "I wanna be a pretty princess!" A real princess overhears a girl's wish and shows her the ropes, which include a painful hairstyle, a binding corset, and an interminable wait for a prince ("Yawn!"). The anime-style art, while a bit synthetic-looking, captures the absurdity of these rules, which the girl ultimately rewrites (e.g., she deletes the "gracefully" in "Dance gracefully").
