Reviews
Specifically designed for confident readers who feel ready to tackle chapter books… The Not So Little Princess is still a little bit naughty
Guardian
Illustrations are excellent and the words provided cleverly draw on the earlier series.
BFK
Young readers who are striving for independence will be delighted to find a book that they can read for themselves – especially one featuring a favourite character.
School Library Journal
This is a perfect extension to the well-loved picture books about the rude but lovable young royal. With short chapters, fabulously funny colour illustrations on every page, and plenty of insolence, this series of early readers is sure to be a roaring success.
BookTrust
Delightful. Colour illustrations are bright and wonderfully expressive and the story as humorous as ever.
