The Very Fairy Princess Takes the Stage

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. In her second book, Geraldine describes how being chosen to play the court jester instead of the princess causes her to lose her "sparkle." She recovers after helping the princess when her crown breaks. Geraldine's voice is irritating, but readers may appreciate her verve. Davenier's loosely drawn ink and colored-pencil illustrations--and some sparkles on the book's cover--help the show go on.
