Quick Summary
Princess Pig's heart is in the right place, but her hooves create hilariously chaotic results in this sweet story about a royal who just wants to help with the party preparations. Kids will giggle at the colorful mess she makes while trying to paint, bake, and garden, because the story shows that trying your best doesn't always mean getting it right. If your kid loves funny picture books about well-meaning characters who cause adorable chaos, like "The Bad Seed" or Yolen's "Dragon Eggs" series, they'll squeal with delight over this pig's royal mishaps. Perfect for kindergarten and first graders around ages 5 to 7 who are just starting to read independently or love laugh-out-loud read-alouds.
