The Secret Lives of Princesses by Philippe Lechermeier, illustrated by Rébecca Dautremer

I’m not entirely sure where to start.  This unique book does not follow a story or really any traditional format.  Sure I read it cover to cover but that was only because I resisted the urge to jump about from page to page.  This enchantingly illustrated book is a world and type of it is own.  It is interactive and creative.  I can imagine a little girl having different favorite princesses at different times and making them characters in her make believe, I sure would have.  Filled with fascinating pictures and charts with princess tips and little life lessons this is the kind of book a kid keeps near at hand for flipping through and boy does it beg for flipping.
