Illustrated by
Randy Cecil.
Rose, Princess of Couscous, is a nontraditional princess. She has a great personality but is not pretty. When she wishes for beauty, adventures ensue. This entertaining fairy-tale spoof--generously illustrated with whimsical pencil drawings--is full of humorous wordplay, clever plot twists, and well-developed characters.
