I said that I liked it instead of saying it was amazing cuz I liked it.

Question style:
Who is your favorite character in this book?
Princess Daisy.

Why?
Because...

Tell me about her. What do you like about her?
There was a carnival on Saturday and Princess Daisy was invited.

But what do you like about Daisy? Is she a fun character?
Yeah!

Is she a crazy character?
Sort of.

Why is she crazy?
I know this is gonna sound weird because she's a perfect princess and perfect princess usually aren't crazy but she's crazy because she's too scared to ride a merry-go-round. But this is no ordinary merry-go-round at all. Well, it is a little ordinary. Cuz, yeah, you ride on stuff, except, you just ride on carriages and they're being pulled by ponies.

Whenever Rebecca picks one of these books from the library or the bookstore I feel incredibly aggravated. First of all, this is NOT real literature. It's actually very similar to some of Rebecca's own creations. The only appeal of this book is the pretty princess on the front. The illustrations are pretty uninteresting. It took Rebecca about 25 minutes to read. It wasn't enlightening. It wasn't funny. It tries to teach friendship and good behavior but comes off empty. Though it's harmless, I definitely don't recommend this series, and think of the time Rebecca spent reading it as a waste when there are so many good books out there. They should ban glitter and stickers in books.

In this installment of the Tiara Club, Daisy is the narrator. She is afraid of the Merry-Go-Round. What will she do? This book tells of friendship and not being too afraid to try new things. This was the second Tiara Club book I read and the "villains" Diamonde and Gruella seem to always be around to bring the Tiara Club members down. I hope that Diamonde and Gruella aren't the only "villains" in the series because, all girls have feelings and maybe these to "mean girls" are just mean because they don't know friendship. Here's hoping that the series ends for them on a good note.

Un libro davvero poco interessante. Le Principesse Perfette sono stucchevoli e noiose e nella storia non succede niente di niente. Bleah
