Review Detail

PRINCESS CHARMING is a sweet picture book read about finding your special thing and kindness. Princess Charming is always trying to find her special thing, but it feels like she is often failing. However, she is super-excited because Stella Sparkle, her favorite movie star, is coming to visit. Although she is not able to help with the preparations, when Stella loses her earring, Princess Charming is on the case, and she won't give up until she finds it. When she finally does, she realizes that keeping trying is her special thing, and her kindness means a lot to Stella, whose earring had special meaning for her.

What I loved: This is a sweet book about being kind and going the extra mile. Princess Charming's story will resonate with young readers who may still be trying to find their place in the world. The messages of kindness and doing your best are really important and show children that there is power in the little things - they may even impress a movie star! The cartoonish illustrations and fun characters are great for picture book readers.

The text is clear and easy to read, and although it may be a bit lengthy on some pages, it tells an intriguing story that is great for preschool and elementary school aged readers. The connection at the end that reveals that her brother is Prince Charming of Cinderella fame is a really cute touch.

Final verdict: A sweet book about kindness and going the extra mile, PRINCESS CHARMING is a picture book that is sure to delight young readers.
