(3) 4-6 Princess Power series. Illustrated by Chuck Gonzales. After Princess Tansy's arrogant brothers head out to trounce an ogre rumored to be wreaking havoc in the village, she and her princess pals set off to save them. This series continues to shine: these princesses couldn't care less about fancy-dress balls--like real kids, they're too busy having fun and dealing with annoying siblings. Cartoony black-and-white art appears throughout.

(4) 4-6 Princess Power series. Illustrated by Chuck Gonzales. In Prince, Princess Lysandra organizes a talent show audition to meet other adventuresome princesses. In Cousin, the four friends must foil Princess Fatima's wicked cousin's plot to become king. Prince drags at first, but this new series is refreshing: it stars four princesses, each boasting a special power, who aren't interested in fancy dresses. Comical black-and-white art appears throughout. Review covers these Princess Power titles: The Charmingly Clever Cousin and The Perfectly Proper Prince.
