Summary: no damsels in distress here;
Comment: Two lonely princesses find friendship and love in this humorous and straightforward pair of tales. In the first story, a princess goes to school for the first time and finds the joy of the ordinary things in life such as jeans and school, while in the second, a princess searches for the prefect prince to scratch the unreachable itch in the center of her back. Yona learns that every father thinks his little girl is a princess, while Emma discovers that sometimes you have to do a lot of searching to find the perfect mate.
There are no damsels in distress here; it is a relief to see more princesses who think for themselves and solve their own problems. Morgenstern skillfully blends whimsy with the mundane and produces likeable characters in familiar situations. The cartoon-like line drawings add to the comic tales that are enhanced by pun, hyperbole and rhyme.
Not a necessity for collections, but if you have students with fairy tale assignments, these modern stories would pair nicely with fractured fairy tales. Place in the hands of younger fans of Gail Carson Levine.

Summary: Two Thoroughly Modern Princess Tales.....
Comment: Oh, to be a princess...that's the life...or is it. Susie Morgenstern dishes out two very clever stories that bring fairy tales and the magical life of royalty down to earth. In the first story, Princess Yona and her family fall on hard times, have to sell the huge, old castle, and move to a four room apartment in the city, where for the first time in her life she makes friends and finds out about a place called school. In the second, Princess Emma has a terrible, agonizing, unreachable itch right in the middle of her back, and decides that the prince who can scratch her itch out of existence, is the man she'll marry. Ms Morgenstern's easy to read prose is filled with droll humor and witty, laugh-out-loud scenes that lead to unpredictable and totally modern, happily-ever-after endings. Serge Bloch's simple black and white cartoon illustrations add a light and comical touch with their funny and expressive details. Perfect for youngsters 8-12, Princesses Are People, Too is sure to engage and entertain your little princess, as it takes a delightful look at some of the real problems facing modern royalty.
