K-Gr 2–In this picture book continuation of Disney motion picture The Princess and the Frog, Tiana is not only preparing her restaurant for Mardi Gras, but also planning a Mardi Gras party for Naveen’s parents, the king and queen. She is, of course, searching for the perfect dessert to impress the in-laws and will go through an adventure in the bayou to make this delectable sweet. The artwork is in line with the film with full-color spreads of scenes set in New Orleans with the familiar cast of characters: Naveen, King and Queen, Juju the snake, and her cat Lily. The secondary characters in the book reflect diversity of the city, with range of black and brown skin tones and representation of across ethnicities.
VERDICT Purchase. This book is guaranteed to fly off the shelves among Disney princess aficionados everywhere.
