Customer Reviews

Not your typical picture book and historical information good for all ages!

I was truly surprised by this book! The illustrations are magnificent. Several actually look like photographs. Princesses Diana, Elizabeth and others are represented, but also royal terminology and information on lesser known rulers. This book looks like a child's book, but as I read this with my 10 year old daughter, I became very interested and learned many royalty-related terms and facts about royals including Ivan IV of Russia! (Yes, he's the 'zsar' in the book.) Don't hesitate to pick up this book for a child up to 12 years old, or anyone who enjoys beautiful illustrations and learning new facts. Note: this book is also an AR book of 7.0, earning 1pt. (This means that if your child is involved in this school reading program, they would need a 7th grade reading level to read it and take a test on it.) I loved it so much I'm off to buy more to give as gifts!

Love P is for Princess

A great book to read to your little princess - You can read one page at a time or a bunch at once! The illustrations are great, and it includes interesting historical facts as well.
