A charmingly-illustrated take on a classic tale, perfect for young readers. When a young prince decides to marry, his mother insists they search the land far and wide to find a real princess—but the perfect bride is hard to find. Caldecott honoree Janet Stevens' expressive animal illustrations bring humor and fun to this traditional story, from the dancing elephant princess to the rain-soaked tiger princess climbing her pile of fluffy featherbeds. This accessible, easy-to-read adaptation is a classic itself, perfect to share with young readers who will love the intricate outfits and cheery wild creatures prancing across the pages.
