I read this book with my six year old daughter and she loved it. This book is great for young readers transitioning over to chapter books. There's still a lot of picture support on each page but enough words on a page to justify it as a chapter book. As an adult reading the book to my daughter, I have to admit that it is a lot of fun to say the name "Itty Bitty Princess Kitty." The gist of the book is that Itty Bitty is told that she will need to teach everyone a new dance at the royal ball, but she doesn't know how to dance.
My daughter's favorite part of the book were the illustrations for Itty Bitty's dance movements at the end of the book. She danced all over our living room floor when the book was over. If you have a cat or princess loving young girl in your life, this is a book for them.

This series is a delight. It targets an extremely difficult age range to write for and does it beautifully. It feels authentic, well written, and never condescending. It’s readable by kiddos who are past the I Can Read series but not quite ready for most middle grade materials. Top notch. I love listening to my kiddo read these to me. :)

Princess Kitty has to learn a dance to model for the guests at the royal ball, but she's not the best dancer. Her friends try to teach her a few moves - the Unicorn Trot, the Bunny Slide, the Butterfly Waltz - but she can't master any of them. A fun story for early elementary-school readers about overcoming nerves and not always having to be perfect at everything. Like the first book in the series, there are plenty of magical animals and elements that will appeal to children who love fantasy; Lollyland, Kitty's kingdom, reminds me of Candyland.

If you like kittens and princesses - you will like this book. There is a problem and it is solved by the main character. Lots of pictures for the transitional reader.
If you do not like kittens and princesses - this is probably not the book for you.
Short chapters for early readers. Good vocabulary .

Madison loved this book! Haha super simple chapter book, we read before bedtime. And now we’ve read it three times while waiting for our library hold for the next few

This is adorable, BUT I think a few things would've helped:
- The book would really have benefitted from even interior monochrome spot colour like in Third Grade Mermaid; it feels a bit flat in greyscale.
- Itty (no really, that's her NAME) is told through an *announcement fairy* that not only will she be hosting a dance, she has to *teach others* a special dance of her own, which she has not even been instructed how to do. Like, imagine being told in an e-mail that you have to do some major thing, in front of people, when you don't know how to do the thing at ALL... and the e-mail gets sent to your Spam folder where you never see it.
...I guess some of you older readers like me might have experience with exactly that. Sorry. It feels like a poor lesson to pass on to younger readers, though, except if the lesson is to expect unreasonable things to be asked of you. (Feels sad, having to teach that kind of preparedness.)
- (Also, the announcement fairy just sort of sods off after the "announcement" without bothering to check if Itty actually HEARD what she said, given she spoke DURING THE SCHOOL BELL. Poor service!)
- I really would have liked Itty to have asked her parents specifically about having to dance. As far as I'm aware, the ball was JUST to meet Itty as the new Princess,* so it wouldn't have been a big deal to NOT do the dance part, but... story padding! Gotta show the self-rescuing princess! Still, standing up to a clearly unfair demand is ALSO a good lesson. Heck, the task should have been handled directly by her mom and dad, not delivered by *fairy*—her parents aren't demonstrating good leadership by dumping such a large duty onto her by third party!
OTHERWISE, the story is good, and I like that her life and friendships haven't really changed from suddenly being a princess! I expect Itty is much better prepared for being royalty than actual royalty, in some ways. Definitely recommended for cat lovers!
*I don't know how it's covered in book 1, since this is the first book I found, but though her mother and father are the Queen and King, Itty had to EARN her Princesshood—which is kind of neat, from an anti-neopotism standpoint! If only leadership positions had to be specially earned, vs. awarded by happenstance of birth or through unfair elections *cough*...

My 5 year old daughter (almost 6), absolutely adores this series. She loves the cute drawings and the story is interesting enough for her. My son (her twin brother) also didn't mind us reading this together, though it's not one he would grab off the shelf. The Royal Ball was a cute story with Itty Bitty being anxious about dancing in front of a large crowd. Her friends tries to help her, but it didn't help her nerves as much as they had hoped. In the end, everything ended up working out ok and Itty is thankful that she had such great friends and that she was able to "survive" dancing in front of a large crowd!

1000 (ten hundred) stars from Ezra!
A great second installment in the Itty Bitty Princess Kitty series. Itty's parents are throwing a royal ball to introduce the newest princess to society, but Itty is horrified to learn she is going to have to perform her very own dance for the guests! A great book for teaching kids to give things a go, even if they don't think things are going to go perfectly.

This was a great book to read to my 5 year old. She’s at that age where she can’t yet read herself-but she wants a story that’s more than a few pages and over in 1 night. There are so plenty of cute illustrations to keep her attention & the language used is easy for her to understand what’s happening. I will be picking up more of these to keep reading with her.

In the words of my library assistant, this book series is so sweet it could give you diabetes. 😆 Unicorn horns that spray glitter, traveling by bubble, mermaids telling the time by changing the colors of school desks….its as fluffy as you can get but it is PERFECT for an early chapter book for just the right reader.

Cute story and illustrations.

So weird. But it does advocate being yourself. AND (more importantly) the 4 year old approved!

Appropriate for: all ages!
My 5 year old daughter loves Itty Bitty Princess Kitty and so do I! I love the full color pages and that every book has a good message.

I love the messages in this book—it’s okay to not feel okay, it’s okay to not be perfect, and it’s okay to be yourself. These are so important for children (and everyone!). It was so cute!

Kitty needs to stop whining

In this book Itty bitty princess was so nervous but she never give up, even when she made mistakes she always fixed them.
January 4, 2025
Itty Bitty Princess Kitty is very nervous because now that she is the princess she has to teach everyone a dance at the Royal Ball. Hilarious ending, and also very relatable to children.

What is there not to love about this kitty princess? She is little, she is cute, she is pink and she is going to a ball. But first she must learn to dance - is this going to be a lesson of success or disaster?
At the palace royal ball the princess is going to have to present herself for the first time AND teach all of Lollyland how to dance on the spot. If only she knew how to dance! With short chapters, easy to read language and some charming black and white illustrations this is the ideal book for emerging readers to enjoy.
