From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2?The Second Princess, with her straight red hair, thinks the curly fair-haired First Princess gets better treatment and schemes to get rid of her so she can be number one. But Gray Wolf won't eat her, and Brown Bear won't marry her. The greedy palace cook, however, in exchange for all the Queen's jewels, promises to help. While the Second Princess is rifling through her mother's jewel boxes, she is discovered and marched off to the throne room for an explanation, which she is too ashamed to give. The kindly Queen soon discovers her younger daughter's secret desire, and proclaims that the princesses will alternate days of being first throughout the week, and on Sundays the whole family will be first together, a gentle balm to the pangs of sibling rivalry. The writing is easy and expressive, with a vivid vocabulary and a rhythmic swing, excellent qualities for reading aloud. The bright watercolor cartoons, with a few lines of text beneath, are entertaining and lively.?Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA
