Enjoy Grilled Cheese And Dragons (Princess Pulverizer #1) Scripted By Nancy E. Krulik Available As Publication

Princess Serena, or no, I should say, Princess Pulverizer!

This is a girl who wants to be a knight, Yup, she is currently at princessschool but that just isn't the place for her, Curtsies Eww! Learning how to dance Ehhhh,

But before she can go to Knightschool, she has to go on a quest! Completingkind deeds, and our first one is going to be getting back those gems from a big bad ogre.
I had lots of fun seeing her try to get those gems back, from singing no, not the good way to get captured, to trying to get out to find those gems.


And then she meets two other characters, Lucas, who is a tiny knight and a wimp at that, and Dribble, a dragon who wants to be a chef yes, really.
I wasn't an instant fan of both of them, but as the story continued I liked them better, I am definitely curious about those grilled cheese sandwiches,

I have to say that I wasn't quite enthusiastic about our princess, I thought it was really cool that she wanted to be a knight, that she didn't want to be saved by boys or anyone, and that she could kick some serious butt.
BUT. Yes, a big but. She was quite mean at times, thought she could just do anything, and when she heard she had to go on a quest of kindness she was trying to think of ways to just get out of it.
She even threw a tantrum because her daddy wouldn't give her whatever she wanted, Not to mention that there are other times that I just wanted to grab her and throw her away,

But sure, as the book continued our princess learns some valuable lessons, including teamwork, grilled cheese is delicious, and how to be kinder to those around her.
She is also finding out that maybe, just maybe, those few princess lessons do come in handy especially when meeting a queen,

I was already wondering what kind of items she would receive upon doing the good deed, as she does need to show her dad something, but our first item is quite fun and probably will come in handy in the future quests.


Yes, future quests! Our girl has to dokind deeds, and this book just has the first one, So I am guessing we will getbooks in total, unless our princess does more than one,

The book is also filled with illustrations, and I just love the design of our princess, she is just as I would imagine her, tough and kickass.


All in all, I had fun reading this one, and I want to see more of Princess Pulverizer's quests/adventures,

Grille Cheese and Dragons by Nancy E, Krulik is the story of Princess Serena, aka Princess Pulverizer, This is a princess who wants to be a knight, She wants to join their meetings at the Skround Table, She wants to fight crime and do everything else a knight does but she can't do it unless she joins the school for knights, So she begs her father to let her go until he finally agrees, But on the condition that she will go on a Quest of Kindness and do eight kind deeds to help others, Thus, she goes on her journey only to result in more chaos than she intended to, until she finally stumbles upon a task that might be her first kind deed.

So now, stuck with a dragon, Dribble and a knight, she has to find a way to escape the ogre's castle, keeping her new friends alive, returning something the ogre stole, at the same time.
Can she do all of these things together What will happen if she fails

Grilled Cheese and Dragons reminded me a lot of the "Hamster Princess" series by Ursula Vernon but it was still unique in its own way.
The story was beautifully written and the situation Princess Pulverizer was stuck in was too funny to be sad about, The illustrations were a beautiful part of it, Their magic brought about a whole new kind of beauty to this book, I very much liked reading about a princess wanting to be a knight and I would love to find out more about her in the coming books.


Overall, the book was a nice example of women empowerment, even though I feel that the princess was a little rude at times to be our hero.
Nonetheless, I'd love to watch her grow up in one and surprise us with her growth! Funny adventures series starter, The story starts with Princess Serena in school to become a young lady, since she is a Princess, She doesn't like being there and doesn't understand why she has to be there, She wants to be a Knight, She convinces her father to let her go to Knight School if she earns her way in, She must go on a Kindness Quest and completeacts of kindness with proof, Princess Serena, who has changed her name to Princess Pulverizer, after getting off to a bad start on her quest finds out that a Queen has had her jewels stolen by an ogre.
This

can be her first act of kindness! She cleverly gets caught by the ogre and gets trapped, A scared wannabe knight and gassy dragon end up trapped with her, They find out that by working together they can save the day, There are lots of little jokes along the way and the story moves at a pace to keep kids interested, The story has illustrations to go with the story, It ends with a "Too Be Continued, . . " Entertaining read. Fun quest book with a Princess, a dragon, and a fraidycat knight, In this one, the Princess needs to go on a kindness quest and dogood deeds in order to join the knight school she wishes to attend.
A spunky inbetween series. Lighthearted and funny. Read this one to Tally and, . . I couldn't stand it. Anyone who tells her it's a series is on my bad list forever, ed for School Library Journal,/:

GrPrincess Serena wants to quit attending the Royal School of Ladylike Manners, change her name to "Princess Pulverizer," and become a knight.
Her father, King Alexander, is willing to entertain this bold move but insists that she first go on a Quest of Kindness, This task should involve acts of bravery and generally being unselfish and selfsacrificing, which are not this pintsized dynamo's strong suits, The princess quickly finds the perfect opportunity to make her mark a smelly, dullwitted troll has stolen the Queen's jewels, and the princess decides to steal them back.
She cleverly finds her way into the troll's lair but her plan soon goes horribly awry, A very ineffectual and weepy young knight along with his embarrassingly gassy dragon, Dribble attempts to rescue the princess and instead causes them all to end up prisoners.
Despite the odds, this unlikely team eventually triumphs and is soon on to the next adventure, Krulik "Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo" has introduced a spitfire new heroine with plenty of humor and outrageous shenanigans, Balistreri's illustrations display his animation background and enhance the absurdity factor admirably, VERDICT: A strong series opener and a solid choice for those looking to increase their early chapter book holdings, this was very cute!!! it ended up being super wellrounded and really had a lesson about kindness and treating people well without hitting you over the head with it.
i liked this a lot!! I like this book because the princess found friends on the way, just like The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship, because these are both adventurous books.
First up, she tries to become a knight, but her papa won't let her, and then she does a funny face, And when she did this goofy face, her papa let her, And he gives her a chore to do: seven good deeds!

And when she got there it was almost night and it was dangerous to get out of the tower where she was trapped because the ogre trapped her.
The next morning was when the knight came and the dragon the ogre gave her weird breakfast: it was sweat and armpit something, And then she didn't eat it and the dragon liked it, And then the dragon made something for her that was the best kind of sandwich she ever had: spoiler alert grilled cheese, The dragon burped and they sledded down the mount, and the ogre got bonked on the head by the treasure, but it wasn't treasure, it was just junk: trash treasure! The princess found the queen's jewels and then she returned them to the queen.


Princess Serena is a little bit of a spoiled girl but she doesn't want to be a fluffy princess, she wants to be a knight and fight dragons.
She also doesn't want you to call her Princess Serena, you can call her Princess Pulverizer, She begs her dad to let her be a knight but he said the one thing that knights have is kindness, so he sends her on a Quest for Kindness to prove that she can be a hero.


On her quest she meets to unlikely heroes that I think will be able to help Serena find her kindness, I thought this was a very cute book and the illustrations are gorgeous! I just loved them, I liked Serena but she is a little harsh at times however it is a quest for her to find kindness so she couldn't be the nicest person to start otherwise the quest would be pointless.
:

I thought the situation that her and her friends were put in was very funny and I thought they were very smart with how they handled it.
I am looking forward to seeing there the story does and if Princess Pulverizer can find kindness,

Overall, I thought this book was very cute, she is a little harsh at times but over all I think it will be find to watch her grow into a true hero, I highly recommend to younger kids and adults.
This would be a great book to read to your kids or have them read aloud to you, :
