Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 2?This beginning-chapter book recasts the familiar fairy tale. It's told from the point of view of Luca, a gardener at the royal palace, who falls in love with the littlest princess. In these cartoon-style illustrations, all of the characters are dogs. Some children may have trouble visualizing the chunky dog heads in gorgeous gowns as beautiful princesses (just imagine "Mudge" clones in formal attire), but it's all relative-to a pup like Luca, they probably look pretty good. Use this version in conjunction with the original tale to give children the opportunity to understand the differences and appreciate both.?Jan Shepherd Ross, Dixie Elementary Magnet School, Lexington, KY
