I
t's so frustrating when your entourage can't get your title right, but instead call you by silly names like
Buttercup
,
Giggly Goose
,
Little Lamb
or
Sweet Gumdrop
. That's the problem that faces the small star of Karen Katz's delightful - and beautifully illustrated -
Princess Baby
.
I
t begins, '
Why doesn't anyone ever call me by my REAL name?
' The toddler explains why she is
not
any of the labels inflicted on her, and then makes clear how she perceives herself in her kingdom of happy stuffed animals, where '
Everything is just the way I like it
' until the silly name calling starts again. She insists on her
real name
- and why ever not?
K
aren Katz has a talent for empathy, which is manifest in this latest endearing picture book,
Princess Baby
. All small monarchs will revel in it - and it might teach their parents a thing or two about etiquette too!
