The Truth About Princesses

(4) K-3 Fairy-Tale Superstars series. Illustrated by Youngsun Kim. Each book briefly states whether its subject is real and then summarizes legends about it ("In fairy tales, most princesses have long hair"). Though the books might serve as introductions for readers completely unfamiliar with folklore, they won't teach other readers very much that's new. The illustrations in Fairies and Princesses create a lighter atmosphere than in Dragons. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Fairy-Tale Superstars titles: The Truth About Princesses, The Truth About Fairies, and The Truth About Dragons.
