Primrose

by Alex T. Smith

See below for English description. Quand on est une princesse, on peut faire tout ce qu'il nous pla?t. Vraiment? La vie de la princesse Primerose est tr?s, tr?s, tr's ennuyante. Elle ne peut pas grimper aux arbres, arracher des l?gumes boueux ou m?me barboter dans la fontaine. Tout le monde au ch?teau est terriblement s?rieux et affreusement convenable, alors que Primerose ne songe qu'? s'amuser. Mais les choses prennent un dr?le de tournant lors de la visite de Grand-maman. Un autre superbe nouvel album d'Alex T. Smith qui fera rire petits et grands.


When you're a princess, you can do whatever you like. Or can you? Life for Princesse Primerose is rather dull because she's not allowed to climb trees, dig up muddy vegetables or even splash in the fountain. Everyone in the royal household is properly proper, and Primerose longs to have some serious FUN. Things take a turn for the better when Primerose's Grandmama comes for a visit and reminds everyone never to say no to a spot of fun. A gorgeous new picture book by Alex T. Smith that reminds us to giggle. Original Primrose

I read this to various year groups.
It was lovely to hear so many children laugh.

Meh.
Sorry, but this was standard fare. Nothing new, no original take on the idea. Pictures didn't do it for me either. Maybe I'm just too old!

Very colourful and eye catching, a lovely story
