From Booklist
Ages 4^-6. Accustomed to getting everything she wants, a bossy, selfish princess receives a well-deserved comeuppance when she wages verbal warfare on a small green parrot. "KNOTHEAD . . . STUPID BUZZARD . . . Speak, or I'll rattle your cage," she rages, continuing to intimidate and insult until her attention is claimed by the arrival of wealthy Prince Percival. Ah, the boundless riches that will be hers if she plays her cards right--precious silks, velvet pillows, a 20-foot TV. Little does she know that the uncooperative bird she has dismissed isn't really a "BIRDBRAIN" after all. Grown-ups will know right where Lester is headed with the story; so will lots of kids, who have been told over and over not to call names or to bully. But the comical overlay makes the obvious message go down easily, and Munsinger's vibrant, expressive watercolors give both bird and human so much vigor and personality it will be hard to keep from laughing out loud.
