(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read: Young Princesses around the World series. Illustrated by Nonna Aleshina. Princess Elizabeth loves riding her pony, but she can't get him to jump the stone wall (Elizabeth). Young Cleopatra warns her father about her sisters' betrayal and saves his life (Cleopatra). Holub's accessible easy-reader tellings showcase the future queens' feisty personalities. Pictures that are stiff and sometimes muddy illustrate most pages. Though supposedly based on true stories, both books lack documentation. Timeline. Review covers these Young Princesses around the World titles: Cleopatra and the King's Enemies and Elizabeth and the Royal Pony.
