PS
In brief rhymes, Saltzberg contrasts the model behavior of a polite, pink-clad princess with that of a wild, unruly dragon. However, lest readers conclude this is an either/or proposition, he declares there's a "dragon child" inside each princess, and "a little princess" inside each dragon. Digitally collaged illustrations with plenty of white space complement the light tone and offer a concluding visual joke.
