The entire princess series by Caryl Hart and Sarah Warburton is just brilliant! The princesses are strong and fiesty, twists on the tales we all know and love. Incredibly detailed illustrations accompany rhyming text. In this book, Princess Eliza is an inventor but her parents want her to make friends and be more “Princessy”! Though forbidden to wander the woods, Eliza heads out looking for a new friend. Peeking through a door she sees sad elves who are too busy to chat. Santa is ill but Eliza knows just what to do! Princess Eliza to the rescue! Perfect for building confidence and imagination in young girls, this series is epic! A Super Christmas story!
