(3) K-3 Illustrated by Chloe Douglass. A young princess eager to be useful is shooed away by the court jester, wizard, and royal baker. When she ventures outside the castle walls, she finds people who really need her help: she reads to an old blind man, babysits for a widow, and bandages a squire's wound. Friendly cartoon illustrations focus on facial expressions to underscore how satisfying it can be to help others.
