Ross’s popular little princess with the yellow crown needs to go to the hospital to have a lump removed from her nose. This look at a hospital stay will comfort any child facing the same fate, yet it avoids being purposeful or didactic due to the humorous tone. The watercolor cartoon illustrations, framed and set on white backgrounds with just one sentence per page, make this appropriate for both group sharing and one-on-one. Libraries may want to purchase if the other books in the series are popular (I Want to Win, 2012; I Want a Party! 2011, etc.). First published in Great Britain in 2000.
