Hart, Caryl The Princess and the Christmas Rescue. PICTURE BOOK. Illustrated by Sarah
Warburton. Nosy Crow (Candlewick),
2017. $17.
Princess Eliza is great at inventing gadgets, but not so
good at making friends, especially since she lives so far north. When her parents’ encouragement, she decides
to follow the smoke she sees in the distance and outs her inventing skills to
good use helping some elves choose, sort, and wrap some much needed presents. While she keeps her helping ways secret,
someone important knows exactly who did the helping.
At first I was worried about he rhyming text – sometimes it
can really put me off – but for the most part it flows pretty well. Long time blog readers know that I am not a
huge Santa fan, but since this is really about Ella, I could enjoy the cuteness
of this for what it is.
Pre-K, EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE.
