Book Review: Princess Furball

I am so excited to share another one of my favorite children's book from when I was a kid! It is called Princess Furball.


Brief Synopsis
Princess Furball lives happily in her castle until her father arranges her marriage to an Ogre in exchange for money. The Princess agrees only if her father can makes her a coat of 1,000 different animal skins, and dresses like the sun, moon, and stars. When the gifts are complete Furball takes them and runs away. She is captured in the woods and forced to work in the kitchen of another castle. Her cleverness and talent allow her to make a new life for herself and marry the man she chooses.

Lessons
Great lessons in independence and courage.

Audience 
This story is very well written and engaging. It is not your typical princess fairytale. I think kids of all ages will love it! My three year old requests it every night. The artwork is pretty unique and the storyline is very clever.

Happy Weekend!
