Patricia von Pleasantsquirrel

(2) K-3 Patricia von Pleasantsquirrel (a girl, not a squirrel) is looking for a princessdom to rule. After reading Where the Wild Things Are, she finds the Land of the Hippos, and a wild rumpus ensues. The eccentric text's humor is nicely extended by the mostly gray illustrations featuring judicious use of purple and yellow--true royal colors for a truly royal non-princess.
