From School Library Journal
K-Gr 2-Something must have been lost in translation in this tale from Italy. A princess who is mocked for her short stature decides to prove herself by going on an adventure. Her grandmother provides her with some "useful things," which conveniently help Little Princess Leonora save one village from a dragon, a second from a magician's spell, and a third from a flock of vultures. These situations are resolved so easily that no dramatic tension ensues. The text's repetitive insistence on conveying exactly how many deserts, mountains, and forests the child crosses is more irritating than connecting. The two-dimensional artwork confuses matters by making this youngster, whom villagers call "as small as a blade of grass," as tall as the other children shown in some of the paintings. Say arrivederci to this import.-Laura Santoro, Coventry Library, Cleveland Heights, OH

From Booklist
Ages 5-8. A charming story only slightly hampered by a didactic edge. Little Princess Leonora is, indeed, little. When she's eight, she looks six, and she's tired of hearing the whole kingdom talk about how small she is. She complains to her grandmother and pleads for an adventure all her own, so the Queen Mother granny sends her off. In one village, she defeats a dragon with bold threats and her tiny arrow. In the next, she uses her tiny hands to undo the magic knots in the flour sacks that prevent the baker from making bread. In her third adventure, she bests a flock of vultures by scaring them with their own reflections in her hand mirror. Monaco's pictures are alive with shimmering colors and geometric shapes: the triangular faces of Leonora and the villagers, the oddly patterned dragon, and the baker's tiles. GraceAnne DeCandido
