PreS-Gr 2—A stunning follow-up to the The Tiny King (Candlewick, 2013), this Japanese fairy tale presents the story of a lovely little princess found in the garden. The king and queen give her all of the same comforts that they would a daughter. To the royal family's surprise, the tiny princess grows leaps and bounds each day until her head grows right through the tallest tower. Illustrated with colorful cutouts, this book is a visual delight. The unique digital collage artwork will inspire a host of related art activities.
VERDICT The Big Princess is bound to be a big hit.
