What a cute little feminist fairy tale picture book for kids. Very sweet and funny, and it rhymes. It's like 'Brave' meets 'The Worst Princess' meets 'Princess Smartypants'.
Princess Daisy ("HI I'M DAISY!" - sorry, couldn't resist), a sweet and booksmart brunette princess after my own heart, has to prove that she is capable of solving any problems, through deduction, research, kindness and compassion. She doesn't exist to be stuck in a tower, waiting to be rescued/courted by a prince; she is far too proactive and pragmatic for that conventional nonsense.'Princess Daisy and the Dragon and the Nincompoop Knights' also breaks convention in that it does show the princess become a queen - a happy and single queen at that. A princess doesn't remain so, and she has loads of responsibilities to her people.
I can't recommend this colourful treat enough to little girls and boys (moreover, the art is lovely and cartoony). Read 'Princess Daisy' to them; they'll thank you.
Final Score: 4/5
P.S. Holy smokes is this really my 750th review? What a milestone! A brimstone milestone! To think I've been writing book reviews for eight years now!
