Get It Now Princesses Are Not Quitters Designed By Kate Lum Available Through Digital Edition

delightful picture book featuringbored princesses who decide their servants have all fun, Impetuously, they decide to switch places with them for a day, . . a very long day for the princesses, Afterhours of scrubbing, cooking, weeding, and missing meals,the exhausted princesses reach an epiphany: life as a servant is NOT fun, and not fair.
It takes awhile, but they eventually devise a clever solution that will bring a smile to every reader's face,

Lum avoids the cliches in many other rich/poor switcheroo stories, The princesses learn to appreciate the satisfaction of a job well done, but it's clear the servant girls are having a ballthe scenes of them lolling barefoot in the garden while the princesses slave away are priceless.
I like the short story, illustrations, the idea of compassion but again, this picture book promotes the idea that princesses do nothing but sit around and have a dull life, something that is not true.
This book made quite an impact on myyearold, For days later, she would say "Princesses are not quitters!" when she felt like giving up, and she wanted to help so much more around the house.
I love the character lessons this book teaches to young girls, I loved the art style in this book though the action got lost in the detail and line work a few times, The story starts out with a bang, a refreshing take on a typical European girly princess theme, I eagerly turned pages to see how the author would resolve the aristocrats' dilemma, Though the conclusion was morally satifying it felt artificial and oversimplified, A little disappointing and a bit heavyhanded Great book for girls who think that being a princess you can be a spoiled snotface.
Maybe you can be, but it's good to find out the dark side of castle life first, Informed decisions, everyone! I know, yet another picture book, yet another princess story, But I've read this to the girls since Thingwas tiny and we all love it, It makes a nice little mantra for us on those hard days I remind my own three princesses that we including Princess Mommy are "not quitters!" Another cool book which sneaks in the value of work to kiddosprincesses.
Delightful!

First of all, I loved the illustrations, From the three princesses ridiculous lavender, pink, and yellow cotton candy style hair, to the smiles on the dogs, to the lounging cats, to the absurd shopping lists, to the princess snack cupboard yum!.
to the castle by the sea, the pictures are all pretty and detailed and intricate, and fun to peruse,

The story of three bored princesses who trade places with three servant girls and do their work, and oh what hard and long work it is, but theyre determined because they dont want anyone to say that princesses are quitters, is very funny and thought provoking too.
I absolutely love the end, where both the princesses and servants needs are taken into account, and how the experience does change the princesses, in a way that felt very satisfying to me.
This book is a really fun read aloud, although it is important to read every word, including the words within the illustrations, Very pretty pictures and great story/moral, Could have used another page of dialog in a couple places but overall very fun, It's great for my "princesses" who say they are "too tired!" to do their work : I guess I read these two books backwards.
It explains why the princesses weren't baking and gardening and such in this one, This one was not as funny to me as the other book, Still, it was fun and I love the absurdity,
I love the lush illustrations of court, the princesses and everything pretty in these books, The only think that sort of bothers me is that there is no brunette or redheaded princess but there can be a blonde princess.
Also, I believe that the message that a person could grow spoiled or accustomed to the good life without considering the people that work for them is important but who is to say that princesses don't have royal duties.
Instead, the princesses are portrayed as lazy, and bored of lounging in the garden which is not necessary true, I like this kind of books that tells girls that can be princesses but at the same time thaey can do any thing.
It is nice look at what hard work is and how to stick with it, I am a bit cynical about it though that through the privilege of being a princess they can choose to do hard work rather than a need to be employed.
One of my favorite princess picture books yet, The princesses are bored to death with being princesses, so they decide to switch place with their servants for a day, They're so tired they can barely move, and they don't get to eat because their work takes them too long, but they won't quit because princesses aren't quitters.
The next morning, they realize how tired their servants must be, so they make a proclamationthat from now on, all servants must rest when they are tired, eat when they are hungry, sleep in until nine, spend an hour a day just sitting in the garden, and take a vacation once a year.
And they join in the work, so they're not bored anymore and their princessdom is the happiest anywhere that's right, it's a princessdom.
Feminist and classconscious! Eh. While interesting that the servants and princesses switch places and learn a bit about the lower class I'm just not sure about it.
What do princesses with Marie Antoinette dresses and massively overthetop pompadour hairstyles do when they're bored They decide to swap withservant girls for the day.
And they command their servants' manager I'm not looking at the book right now and can't remember what she's really called to show them no mercy, because "Princesses are not Quitters".


I couldn't help thinking of various politicians or celebrities who have lived on a poor person's budget for a week, and what a farce it really is.
Yes, they might discover who hard it is to live on a minimal income, but one week doesn't tell half of it, So I was reading this book to my granddaughter and thinking cynical thoughts, However, these princesses end up fulfilling every single job they're given, and then spoiler alert, but don't tell the kids what you're reading here and it'll be okay not only making a proclamation that gives the servants much better working conditions, but participating fully in the future to make their 'princessdom' a truly beautiful place to live in.


The grandchildren loved this book! And we all thought the gradual addition of all sorts of items to the princesses' hairstyles to be hilarious.
I'm afraid I didn't love this one quite as much as I hoped I would, but it's still a cute story about walking in someone else's shoes, accompanied by colorful illustrations with fun details.
The three princesses are BORED with life, so they order the servants to take their place for the day and they decide to have some fun playing servant.
Only, it's not so fun, The work is very hard, but the princesses are not quitters and they complete all their chores the chores are listed with accompanying illustrations.
At the end, they are eager to make some changes to the rules for the poor servants, The plot and "message" are a bit too predictable for my taste, but little girls who love the idea of being a princess might like this glimpse into the other half of castle life : I wasn't totally in love with everything in this book but I do love that it is focusing on a character trait instead of marriage.
In a world that pushes relationships so much, it's refreshing to find a princess story that teaches the joy of working hard instead of mooning around for prince charming.
Enjoyed reading this book.
High class people taking a walk in the life of the servants for a day and finding it incredibly difficult, underperforming but persisting.


Later they have pride in the food they helped prepare the day before, able to enjoy it

more because they helped make it.
They can relate to the servant girls, as they have more understanding, Cute and clever illustrations this one was a big hit with myyearold, I'm not the hugest fan of princess books generally because no one wants their little girl growing up with a princess complex, but as far as they go, this one was fun.
Modern fantasy
Krd grade reading level

This is a childhood favorite of mine! I absolutely love the princesses humor.
There is a valuable lesson that can be learned through this book: we must be grateful to those who do things for us.
Reading this book for yet another time brought me so much joy and laughter, Cant wait to read it to a classroom sometime! Once again, were in the huge silver palace with Princess Mellie, Princess Libby, and Princess Allie.
I like that in this book, we actually get to see on the beginning pages, just how huge their palace is, I dont think huge accurately describe it, I would use words like enormous or gigantic,

Eating their breakfast in the garden, one of the princesses mentions how boring being a princess really is, As a group of girls now moved past the princesses, the princesses notice that these girls were again having all the fun! They were out in the fresh air and they were again doing something interesting.
It just wasnt fair! Calling these girls over, the princesses tell the girls that theyre going to switch places with them, They immediately, exchange clothing.

When the housekeeper hears of this switch, she questions the princesses but theyre determined to keep their new roles, From now on, the princesses will be the servants and the servants will be princesses, How funny!! The princesses cant wait to get to work but by lunch time, theyre already behind schedule and Im exhausted even thinking of them doing everything on the list the housekeeper gave them.
I liked how the princesses kept going even though they were exhausted and I loved the amount of work that was included on the list.
The illustrations were cute and entertaining too, There were some good points in the book and I liked how they were presented,

This is a fun series and I like how there are ideas/lessons in each of the stories, I thought the ending of the book was excellent and I really enjoyed this book,
Best of the series, The illustrations were a little busy for my niece, but we both love these princesses and how they learn to be persistent, This is an adorable book and fun to read, In this story, the pampered and ignorant princesses learn what it takes to create their lifestyle, We discovered this one in a local library, Collierville As the book goes on, it includes all the good stuff for a read aloud and the girls learn what really matters.
Great character building! All three of Lum's princess books are a breath of fresh air, My daughter and I enjoyed them, Princesses is beautiful dresses for her and messages of hard work, compassion, and wisdom for both of us, We love this little book, Bored just sitting around their garden over breakfast, three princesses decide to swap "jobs" with their servants, The housekeeper gives them a long list of chores to keep them busy for the day: sweeping, dusting, polishing, tending to the gardens, and many other tedious tasks.
The next morning, when the princesses find themselves appreciating the fruits of their own labors they decide that a proclamation is in order: "Rest when you are tired.
Eat when you are hungry, . . " and many other necessary and wonderful rules, Will life ever be the same again in this princessdom by the sea,
