Had a lovely week off from school. Read a lot and managed not to buy a single book. Got one to review though.
Princess Cora and the Crocodile by Laura Amy Schlitz. Illustrated by Brian Floca. 74 p. Candlewick Press, March 28, 2017. 9780763648220.
Publisher synopsis: Princess Cora is sick of boring lessons. She’s sick of running in circles around the dungeon gym. She’s sick, sick, sick of taking three baths a day. And her parents won’t let her have a dog. But when she writes to her fairy godmother for help, she doesn’t expect that help to come in the form of a crocodile—a crocodile who does not behave properly. With perfectly paced dry comedy, children’s book luminaries Laura Amy Schlitz and Brian Floca send Princess Cora on a delightful outdoor adventure — climbing trees! getting dirty! having fun! — while her alter ego wreaks utter havoc inside the castle, obliging one pair of royal helicopter parents to reconsider their ways.
That's what's new with me. What's new with you?
