Presumably because of her mother's doting--documented on these color-drenched pages with wit and warmth--Little Princess eventually has the confidence to go it alone at Little Duchess's sleepover. (It's out-of-sight Mom who cries at book's end, "I WANT MY LITTLE PRINCESS!") This endearing comedy is actually saying something serious about the uniqueness of the parent-child bond.
