(3) K-3 Illustrated by Heather Maione. Toe-tapping rhymes chart a day in the life of a princess. Though she has many costume changes, none of the outfits, rendered with a suitably frilly, cotton-candy-like frothiness, can compete with her "favorite clothes": her underwear, in which she romps (in private) at day's end. Beneath its focus on girly garments, the book has a feminist slant; this is no (stereo)typical princess.
