K-3Ready-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Mike Lester.
Regina Recalcitrant is not your typical princess: she is rotten and rude. When her oblivious parents send her to princess school, Regina decides to have some fun and wreak havoc. Lester's comic-like illustrations inject additional humor (facial expressions are especially effective). The story lacks resolution, but readers will be amused by the jabs taken at some well-known fairy tales.
