Hiawyn Oram is a very successful author of children's books in Britain. Her books include the popular Not-So-Grizzly Bear Stories, the Animal Heroes series, and Mona the Vampire. She lives in London.
This is a humorous tale about a take-charge princess who doesn't always take no for an answer, especially if the answer is always, "No." The narrative is humorous and somewhat dramatic and the illustrations are colorful and cartoonish. The anthropomorphic animals are entertaining and we loved that Chamomile is so spunky and clever. We enjoyed reading this book together.
