You Can't Eat a Princess!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah McIntyre. When her father, King Cupcake, is kidnapped by aliens, Princess Spaghetti takes the royal rocket to find him in outer space, where his captors are threatening to eat him. The story has the requisite kid allure (a princess heroine, comical villains with multiple googly eyes, desserts), but it adds up to a little less than the sum of its parts.
