      Synopsis

      Princess Smartypants doesn't want to get married; she'd rather live with herpets. Commanded by her parents to find herself a husband, the Princess sets tasks for her horde of suitors. . . . All of the potential husbands fail miserably as the gleeful Princess looks on—until Prince Swashbuckle appears. . . . Comical watercolors in softly glowing colors. . . . A new slant on the traditional fairy tale princess. . . . A refreshing alternative.
      (School Library Journal)

It is nice to read a book about a young woman who depends on her 'smarts' to stay ahead. We LOVE Princess Smartypants.
