Summary: Geraldine knows she is a very fairy princess, even if no one else does. This is the story of how a proper fairy princess spends her day.
Art: This book is pink, glittery, and bright, perfect for any reader who enjoys a bit of glamour. The pencil illustrations are open and colorful, with streaks of red, blue, and green visible even in Geraldine’s blonde hair.
Review: The Very Fairy Princess is something of a typical princess book, simply detailing how Geraldine acts like royalty and adds a bit of magic to the every day. The story follows Geraldine from waking up and eating breakfast, through school, then to bedtime. At each activity, she explains how she glamorizes her life with a tiara or wings, but she also manages to incorporate things like scabby news and sneakers, explaining they are necessary for fairies just learning to fly. Importantly, Geraldine realizes true princesses are supportive, responsible, and creative; it is not all about the glitter and the clothes. Geraldine’s imagination and even her message may not be original in picture books, but they are still a lot of fun.
