Editorial Reviews

A sure hit with fans of Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious.” —Children’s Literature

“…The story feels fresh throughout—no easy feat for a princess book.” —Horn Book Guide

“Calvert’s tale of a bespectacled princess’s rocky road to self-acceptance is rollicking good fun…[The] mishaps are appropriately silly and lighthearted, [but] they do not conceal the compelling message that being true to one’s self paves the road to happiness. Mourning’s mixed-media illustrations of graphite and digital/collage present an intriguing blend of texture and color. Readers are bound to relish the interplay between what the text describes and the reality of the illustrations as Princess Peepers stumbles about sans specs. The ironic denouement is bound to please princess fans and their practical parents alike.” —Kirkus Reviews
