Princess Pigsty

(4) K-3 Translated by Chantal Wright. Illustrated by Kerstin Meyer. Bored with her passive royal existence, Princess Isabella rebels and refuses to wear her crown. Her father (the king) punishes her by sending her to wallow in the pigsty...where she's never been happier. The genial story resolves its father/daughter conflict warmly if a bit facilely. Black-outlined illustrations contrast the staid, jewel-toned king and his subjects with the earthier, more high-spirited Isabella.
