liked it. It wasn't even a very long chapter book, We should read the other books,
MaraI like that princess, Can I read this book in my bed
Me Great intro to chapter books for both my girls, There are lots of pictures and the words aren't too hard, Next time I think I will have Mo read some of the chapters to us, Its a case of monstrous cuteness as the Princess in Black encounters her biggest challenge yet: a field overrun by adorable bunnies,
Princess Magnolia and her unicorn, Frimplepants, are on their way to have brunch with Princess Sneezewort, an occasion Frimplepants enjoys more than anything in the world.
But just when he can smell the freshly baked bread and the heaping platters of sugardusted doughnuts, Princess Magnolias glitterstone ring rings, The monster alarm! After a quick change in the secret cave, Princess Magnolia and Frimplepants are transformed into the Princess in Black and her faithful pony, Blacky.
But when they get to the goat pasture, all they can see is a field full of darling little bunnies nibbling on grass, twitching their velvet noses, and wiggling their fluffy tails.
Where are the monsters Are these bunnies as innocent as they appear This is the perfect series to transition young people out of "easy readers" and into chapter books.
The bright illustrations, engaging plot line, large print, and easy vocabulary make this a perfect confidence building read, Plus the stories are a lot of fun! My daughter has read all of the Princess in Black books a number of times, and continues to enjoy rereading them.
This series is the absolute best, It's so adorable and hilarious and The Princess in Black is a fantastic character, It's a good bridge book for kids who are ready to move out of the easy readers, but aren't quite ready for longer chapter books, Jocelyn: ".stars.
I love the pictures and i just loved how cute the bunnies were and how cute they were described and all the good details in the sentences.
I didn't really like that they couldn't understand the bunnies and that there is a language called "Cute" because anyone can be cute, " Beware of cute little bunnies : What a fun story! Those ravenous bunnies won't quit multiplying and eating up the whole goat field! It gets pretty dicey there for a minute when the bunnies think the princess is food because she can't talk back to them but fortunately I especially enjoyed the return of Princess Sneezewort.
Cute and fun, as always,
I really liked the change in how the story was told it
wasn't the same niche of Magnolia having to switch back and forth between herself and her alter ago The Princess in Black every five minutes in order to fight monsters and be at the castle doing princessy things.
The bunnies were adorable they literally speak the language of Cuteness, but goodness, the poor monsters in Monsterland are still stuck dealing with these ridiculously cute horrors who will eat you out of house and home .
Quite frankly, the hungry bunny horde situation was not properly addressed nor actually fixed in any way, Still. If you read the first two books with your kids and then were about to give up, do not do so! When I read the second book, about Princess Magnolia's birthday, to my fouryearold twins I was disappointed.
Just like the first one, the princess has someone snooping around as she runs off to fight monsters, Also, there was no payoff on the Goat Herd Boy wanting to become a super hero, Sure, this book series is for Kindergarten to SecondGraders, but it was just too repetitive,
But then I read this one and it really redeemed things by changing things up, This time we have bunnies rather than monsters and no one is at risk of discovering Princess Magnolia's alterego, It also features more character development for the unicorn/horse Frimplepants/Blacky, Finally, there are hints that the authors will eventually pay off the Goat Herd plotline,
Does it seems like I'm being overly critical or overanalyzing a book for little kids It's only because, as someone who's been parenting foryears now, I can easily say that most kids' books SUCK SO HARD.
There are a few gems here and theresitelinkLeave Me Alone!, especially the classics like many Dr, Seuss books, but so many of them are so annoying like watching kids' cartoons, Yeah, I'm not the target audience in either case, but in both cases I end up being exposed to it by virtue of the kids being so young.
So when I read the first Princess in Black book and got to experience some jokes that I enjoyed and great artwork, it was like a good Disney or Pixar movie it appeals to both kids and adults.
That left me with high expectations that I felt were dashed with the second book, However, as I said, this third entry really redeemed the series and I can't wait to read the fourth one to the kids especially since it clearly changes things up with The Princess going on vacation.
The hungry bunnies are freaking adorable, I just love them. And I love how determined Frimplepants was to eat, This might be my favorite book in the series yet, Cannot wait for the next one! This one was cutter than the last, Good unique "don't judge a book by its cover" message, I love this series! I was concerned the series was about to get repetitive, but this one changed the formula just enough to be entertaining in a new way.
Still fun! Though as an adult I do start to worry about a young princess and her unicorn/horse getting regular meals and maintaining healthy friendships in between all their adventures! :D מי היה מאמין, יצורים סגולים חמודים עלולים להתברר כלא חמודים בעליל! טויסט מעולה : I am an adult.
My third grade female students love this book and the series, I use it in guided reading and often we start at the table , do a small lesson, then I send them to finish the chapter, They beg to read ahead and I told them it is great to preread, They are so thrilled.
This is a brief story of a princess who morphs into a caped crusader to keep the monsters in Monster Land, In this case the monsters are the bunnies from Monster Land who eat everything and possibly everyone, I am definitely liking the Princess in Black series by Shannon and Dean Hale, I like the third title in the series, The Princess in Black and the Hungry Bunny Horde, even better than the second perhaps, Though I did like meeting Princess Sneezewort in the second book, I wouldn't mind if she became a series regular!
The book opens with Princess Magnolia and Frimplepants on their way to have brunch with Princess Sneezewort and her pet, Sir Hogswell.
Frimplepants may be even more excited about brunch than Princess Magnolia, But, predictably, the two don't make it in time for brunch, Instead, the monster alarm goes off, and the two dash to the secret cave to emerge The Princess in Black and Blacky, The two arrive thinking to find MONSTERS, But all the Princess can see before her eyes are CUTE, ADORABLE, SWEET, LOVABLE BUNNIES, But Duff the Goat Boy insists that the bunnies ARE monsters, She's not convinced.
Who is right The Princess in Black or Duff the Goat Boy! Are the bunnies all they appear to be! Or could the bunnies prove disastrous!
I enjoyed this one very much.
It definitely reminded me of "The Trouble with Tribbles, " These are just cute little bunnies, surely they can't be monsters, right
Funny and cute!
I haven't mentioned before, but the illustrations in this series are so well done! Bright, colorful and perfectly suited to the story.
Graysen:/stars: I really liked how there was tons of bunnies and then one bunny ate part of a goat's horn, so the goat had half a horn.
I like how the bunnies thought the Princess in Black was food, I like how Frimplepants saved the day and then at the very end he got to eat the pizza that he deserved, And I feel sad for when he didn't get the cheesy omelets and the sugar doughnuts and all that num num stuff!
Lizzy:/stars: I liked when the bunnies ate part of the Princess in Black's shoe.
I liked when all the bunnies said stuff and they said "Do you have broken off fingernails" and "Do you have monster fur" And I liked that at the very very very end that they walked across the people and how Princess Sneezewort didn't have the pig with her or Frimplepants or Princess Magnolia.
Asher:/stars: That the bunnies said "Are you food"
Erica:/stars: These books are seriously my favorite and my kids' favorite, We laugh a ton while we read them and they're a good level for all the kids, in between picture books and chapter books,yearold daughter says:
It was really good, And they got to to fight lots of monsters in one long battle, I like one battle.
yearold son says:
stars, I didn't like it that much because the bunnies were purple,
Mom says:
I didn't like this one as much as other Princess in Black, but that doesn't mean anything except that I just loved it instead of LOVED it.
These are such fun readalouds, The bunnies were quite the horde! The Princess in Black and Blacky the Pony are back to save the day against, . . bunnies The Princess may not be able to handle this level of cuteness, but hopefully Blacky can save the day from omnivorous bunnies! My sympathy is all with Blacky, missing a tasty brunch is very sad! Otherwise, a bit reminiscent of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
. . and the Princess needs to learn not to judge a book by it's cover or a critter by their cuteness, No content issues. Remis review shes
I didnt like this one as much as the others, Annnnnnd very dramatically they talked about NASTY toenail clippings again, Why do those monsters eat them Nasty, I think its funny how Blacky got them back in the hole! But he got lunch so thats cool! Duff has to be upgraded to hero status soon, right Another bedtime read with a lot of good chuckles.
My almostyearold has started reading along and correcting me when I switch words around or something, so she's paying attention, These books were a relief during the strongest days of my older daughter's princess phase, We've read them all but revisit them often, as both my daughters now love Princess Magnolia and her monsterfighting alter ego, I wonder if Shannon Hale is a Buffy fan, I certainly thought fondly of Anya when imagining ominous bunnies, Puedo ser más fan de La princesa de negro Creo que no, Shannon Hale is the New York Times best selling author of six young adult novels: the Newbery Honor book Princess Academy, multiple award winner Book of a Thousand Days, and the highly acclaimed Books of Bayern series.
