Love, Juliebug

Recently, I was sent a copy of this book to review. Let me just say how much my daughter loved it. She giggled and giggled. There are many things this book has going for it; so much pink in the illustrations, a princess, dogs, and bubble gum. It is inspired by Duchess Kate Middleton and Prince Williams' fairytale romance and a real life gum chewing incident at the Prince's Sandhurst passing-out ceremony in 2006.

Bubblegum Princess author, Julie Gribble celebrates a lively, intelligent, and strong­willed heroine; her Katy is not your typical “princess.” The full color Bubblegum Princess, illustrated by Lori Hanson takes readers on an adventure filled with royals, the queen’s favorite dogs ­­ corgis, and tons of bubblegum. Bubblegum Princess went on sale the day Prince William and Duchess Kate’s “Baby Cambridge” was born.

As a mom I think it's great that a princess type book shows it's okay to be different, to be yourself. It's definitely one that will stay in our library for years to come.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
