(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah Warburton. "'But where's my giant tree house?' / bawled the greedy little tyke. / 'You promised me a cell phone, / three puppies, and a bike!'" Brat-tastic birthday princess Ruby embraces a less-is-more attitude only after the palace capsizes under the weight of her gifts, burying her father. It's well done, with gently mocking illustrations featuring all the pink décor you'd expect.
