(3) 4-6 Princess DisGrace series. Illustrated by Kimberley Scott. In her second term at Tall Towers Princess Academy, awkward and accident-prone Grace is reluctantly preparing for a class ballet performance. The discovery of a baby dragon leads kindhearted Grace--with the help of a young servant girl--to save both the dragon and the show. Grace's princess-school dramas, humorously depicted in the generous black-and-white illustrations, have sure appeal for princess-obsessed readers.

(4) 4-6 Princess DisGrace series. Illustrated by Kimberley Scott. Clumsy, messy Grace is in her first year at Tall Towers Princess Academy. Although she is bullied by her nasty cousin Precious, Grace's cheerful, optimistic outlook wins her friends and a unicorn named Billy. Readers who like their princesses spunky and glittery will look past the obvious messages and the predictability of Grace's awkwardness. Plentiful black-and-white illustrations are amusing.
