Childhood favourite re-readathon book!

[Emilia Cabrera Fadina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is really inspirational. It teaches people to never stop being loyal and kind. It is really important to always differentiate what is good and what isn't. What is good will never change, and what is not ok will always be bad. Sara shows kindness and never stops being who she is. Even if the world goes against her she is always going to be a princes inside.

This The Little Princess was most based on the Shirley Temple's movie. So the story was changed to too easy, reader can't really felt how Sara are such a good girl. But this book is good as a guide, if children are interested so they will try to read the Burnett's book.

I just read this to Scarlet. I loved this book as a little girl. Scarlet and I had so much fun reading this book. The great thing about this book is that it teaches that life is about who you are not what you have. A timeless lesson.
