We All Deserve the Royal Treatment

Rebecca and Jane remember that they were once princesses in a faraway land until one night a terrible earthquake shook them and their queenly mother through time and space, dropping them into the trailer park where they live now. Unfortunately, their mother bumped her head on their journey and has forgotten she is a queen. It is only when they share their secret with an elderly neighbor that Jane and Rebecca realize that they may not be the only secret princesses, with or without queen mothers, in the area. There may even be a prince or two hiding nearby. Delighted readers will realize as soon as Jane and Rebecca do, that whether or not someone remembers his or her true status, it never hurts to give them the royal treatment.Leanne Franson's charming illustrations enhance this gentle story. Highly recommended for preschoolers to first grade.

Pete's sister's review

The Trailer Park Princesses was a long-awaited book (by me,anyway) and succeeded my greatest expectations. I was thrilled by theimaginative storyline which evoked such vivid images in my mind. The illustrations translated the words in perfect detail-Leanne Fransen did a wonderful job and should continue to illustrate this autho's further works.

A delight!

This book is a perfect gift for a child; it will not only delight but stimulate a young imagination. The illustrations beautifully complement the charming, witty, lively text. Go for it!

Wonderful Book!

This books is a delight! The illustrations are clear, fun, and help to tell the story. A nice book that makes us all believe that we are kings, queens, princesses, and princes - we just have to remember.
