5.0 out of 5 stars What our class thinks of Princess Smartypants 23 Oct 2003
By CHILDREN OF 3CB WATERLOO SCHOOL
Format:Paperback
In our class, we have been looking at stories of princesses and this one is great!
It's a really funny story because Princess Smartypants is an extraordinary princess.
She doesn't do normal princess things, in fact she has a really cool motorbike. She is so wild!
The problem is Princess Smartypants does not want to get married so she puts her princes to test. Read the book to find out what they are!
Read to the end because you are in for a big surprise!

5.0 out of 5 stars Princess Smartypants-its fab!! 7 Dec 2005
By Year 3
Format:Hardcover
We are a year 3 class and have used Princess Smartypants in our literacy lessons. We think that the book Princess Smartypants has colourful and funky pictures, she is a strange princess, with horrid and enormous pets. But, overall Princess Smartypants is a fantastic and an exciting book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for every girl!
Every little girl should have a copy - it's funny, life-affirming and a brilliant counter-weight to the message that girls have to be sweet and dull!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good fun
Large clear text and great pictures. And a fun storyline which defies conforming to 'girly-ness'. My son loves it as would any young girl who has girl power!

4.0 out of 5 stars A princess with attitude!
This is a great book. She's not your typical princess and so appeals to tom boys and girly girls alike. What's more there are more in the series.
