I Want a Boyfriend!

Author: Tony Ross

This offering from the popular Little Princess series deals with a slightly surprising topic for the average preschooler – the desire for a boyfriend. However, it soon becomes clear that the Little Princess only really wants a playmate, and her classmate Donald, despite being ‘nice’ is not really suitable, while her beloved toy Gilbert is much more fitting. With crisp text, which will bear being read aloud repeatedly, fans of the Little Princess will not be disappointed, although those new to this character may wonder why such a topic has been chosen out of the range of issues available to this age group. The distinctive illustrations are bright and breezy with wonderful facial expressions telling much of the story as Little Princess and Donald explore this new relationship.
