K-3
Little Princess series.
The Little Princess considers her dad a royal killjoy: he doesn't bake as well as the cook, swim like the admiral, etc. She realizes the king's value only after suffering through cooking, swimming, and other lessons with the maid. Ross continues a successful streak with this latest comic drama for his Little Princess, whose relatability shines through in the chipper, featherweight art.

K-3
Little Princess series.
One summer day, the Little Princess learns about snow and wants some, "NOW!" Despite her minders' efforts to please her--they build her a stone snowman, a "snowcastle" with sand, etc.--she consigns herself to her bed "forever!... Or at least until it snows." Somehow, Ross hasn't yet run out of fresh scenarios for his beguilingly bratty princess. His droll art retains its signature propriety-threatening conviviality.
