From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1-A funny British import about a little princess in a long white dress and a big gold crown who wants to grow up to become a perfect adult. She wanders around the palace asking the queen, the king, the cook, the general, the admiral, the prime minister, and the doctor for their advice. They tell her to be kind, loving, clean, brave, good at swimming, clever, and healthy. She contemplates all of these demanding suggestions while sitting on her potty. Then she turns to the maid, who gives her an eminently sensible answer, which is followed by a winning surprise ending. Amusing, bright, full-page watercolor cartoons show the royal parents in a mismatched business suit and house dress; the brave general being terrified by mice; the admiral wading in a tub with toy boats; the doctor covered with red, measly spots; and other entertaining details. One or two lines of succinct text per page tell the story, which is great for reading aloud.
