This is such a delightful story for any kid who is always being told they are “too little” to help or to do something great. Penny proves that kids can do great things too.
I sometimes wonder how much my young kids retain when they are reading. Well, if I had any doubt they were paying attention it was dissolved yesterday when my daughter had to tell her grandpa all about Princess Penny and how she is small but it doesn’t stop her from saving the day and proving to the kingdom that she could be mighty! I loved listening to her retell this story in her own words and how dramatic she made it all sound. She truly loved this story and it resonated with her.
On a side note, I have a hard time finding books that show siblings treating each other with respect and kindness. My two have such a strong bond between them and LOVE each other immensely so reading a book where the princes treat Penny with love and admiration is a wonderful thing!
My 2nd grader just finished this book and she said it was so cute and loved the pictures. She was excited to read it each day and made school smoother because she was looking forward to reading. She said this book is perfect for little girls! Thanks for making good books!
Young children are capable of helping more than we think they can! When we give them a chance, they can become like Princess Penny and help save the day!
My children belly laughed at the illustration of the servant on page 12. The rest of the illustrations are excellent!
Perfect for my 7 year old curly hair girl! Penny is 7 also. Princess Penny helps with saving the day. It’s sweet and fun. Also great for her 2nd grade reading. She feels confident reading it to me
“I want to help,” said Penny. “Please let me!”
“How could you help?” asked the king. “You are only seven years old”
Watersford is usually a peaceful place, so when trouble arises, Princess Penny wants to help. Though many in the kingdom doubt her abilities, and despite the obstacles in her path, Penny sets off to make things right. Beautifully illustrated, this charming tale reminds readers that sometimes heroes come in unexpected sizes.
