Princess Smartypants, written and illustrated by Babette Cole, is a delightful and empowering children's book that challenges traditional fairy tale stereotypes. The story revolves around Princess Smartypants, a modern and independent young royal who is determined to avoid the conventional fate of marrying a prince. The princess, with her purple hair, motorbike, and pet pig, is a refreshing and feisty character. She sets her own rules and is uninterested in the parade of princes her parents invite to the castle in the hopes of finding her a suitable husband. The princes, each more pompous and chauvinistic than the last, fail to impress the princess, who outsmarts them with her wit and intelligence. Cole's vibrant and humorous illustrations bring the story to life, making it an engaging and entertaining read for young children. The book is a great tool for starting conversations about gender roles, independence, and the importance of being true to oneself. Princess Smartypants is a wonderful antidote to traditional fairy tales where princesses are often portrayed as damsels in distress, waiting to be rescued by a prince. This book, on the other hand, celebrates independence, intelligence, and the freedom to choose one's own path. It's a must-read for any child's bookshelf. In conclusion, Princess Smartypants is a fun, engaging, and empowering book that challenges traditional gender norms and encourages children to value their independence and individuality. It's a story that both children and parents can enjoy and learn from...
