Reviews

The Horn Book Guide

Reviewed on 1 October 2010

“Filled with satirical moments, the watercolor illustrations add to the madcap comedy.” —The Horn Book Guide

School Library Journal

Reviewed on 1 March 2010

“Ross’s bright, cheerful trademark watercolor illustrations add much humor to this already funny tale about having too much of a good thing. Children love birthday celebrations and will be delighted with this newest ‘Little Princess’ story.”
—School Library Journal

Booklist

“Ross’ zany cartoon-style illustrations capture the princess’ impulsive, egocentric nature and reveal a subplot regarding a lost locket. Children will identify with the princess’ desire to have more than one birthday per year, and adults will appreciate the resolution.”
