Product Information

In “I Want TWO Birthdays!”, the initial reason the Princess wants more than one birthday is because the Queen gets two birthdays (one real birthday and one public holiday). Animal Lover: The Princess has never met an animal she didn't like. In fact, in "I Want a Sister", she initially wants another dog (specifically a puppy) instead of a sibling.

Blatant Lies: In “I Don’t Want to Go to Bed!”, the Princess lies that Gilbert (a stuffed bear) is thirsty, then that he’s afraid of monsters, to try to stall going to bed. Spoiled Brat: Princess herself, although much more in the books than in the show. Here's a girl who demands that her potty be brought to her instead of her going to the potty (which she doesn't know the location of, but still she doesn't actively search for it). Additionally, when she makes a request, the castle's inhabitants would try to do their best to please her. And if she doesn't get her way, she throws a tantrum. Right for the Wrong Reasons: In “I Want to Do it by Myself!”, the Princess is correct that she’s being forgetful. However, she thinks that she’s forgotten that she brought her things camping, when actually she forgot to bring them and other people brought them for her. Age-Appropriate Angst: Little Princess makes a big deal out of things, but lots of preschoolers do.the illustrations are bright and fun. They also make it easier to imagine what is happening on the camping trip Personal Reaction- I like this book because of its message. I do not think it is very challenging or very thought provoking but I think it is still one that would benefit young students. I like the little princess' attempts to take ownership of her trip and I think that it shows that it is okay to ask for help. The only child of the King and Queen, the cheeky princess has her castle and its grounds at her disposal, meaning she is free to roam and play safely unaccompanied by adults. Little Princess is made by the team at The Illuminated Film Company.

One-Episode Fear: The Princess develops a fear of ghosts in “I Want My Light On!”, but it goes away. I said thank you to God recently. I was looking around my house and I thought, “I’ve stumbled through life. I couldn’t have done all this by myself.” Something has been guiding me. And I suppose that’s God. Ate It All: Subverted – In “I Didn’t Do It!”, someone apparently eats all of the Chef’s chocolate cake. He thinks it was the Princess, but it was really the prince next door. Then, it turns out he saved the Princess a slice. True to the spirit of Tony Ross’s original picture books, the positive message delivered with each story is wrapped up with humour and surprise.

Getting to know the Kingdom

Big "NO!": In “I Didn’t Do It!”, the Princess yells, “NOOOOO!” when the Admiral asks if she sunk all his (toy) ships. Anthropomorphic Food: In “I Want a Bedtime Story!”, the King tells the Princess a story about a naughty, living sandwich, while the Gardener tells one about a carrot who’s afraid of the dark. Fiendish Fish: In “I Want a Bedtime Story!”, the Admiral tells a story about a threatening, giant fish.

I Want My Mum” – The Princess has overcome her clinginess toward the Queen and is having fun at a sleepover, but the Queen is crying because she misses her. Puss is mostly a regular animal, but sometimes can be seen making humanlike gestures or holding objects. The same applies to Scruff the dog. Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome: In the book "I Want a Sister", the Little Prince (Princess's brother) is born. In all the other books, he's about two but the Princess is still four.Cassandra Truth: In one of the books, the Little Princess is blamed for eating the Chef's chocolate cake, walking on the Maid's sheet, walking on the gardener's radishes, and muddying the house. She says she didn't do it, but nobody believes her. Turns out, the real culprit was their neighbour, a prince the princess's age. Though he did save her a piece of cake. I would hate to be remembered as a total shit. I’d like people to say, “Oh, it’s a pity he’s gone. He was fantastic.” No, You: In “I Want a Boyfriend!”, during the Princess and Donald’s “breakup”, Donald says flowers are boring, and the Princess replies, “So are you!”.
