Josée Masse.
The princess is bad-tempered and BORED. Happily-ever-after comes in the form of a prince who shows her that, with paper, one can construct things, which leads to other activities that prevent boredom from creeping in ever again. Readers may empathize with the princess, but her unpleasantness is annoying. Dynamic angular illustrations display an elegance befitting a princess.
