In a rose-covered palace by the sea live three lovely princesses who never sit around doing nothing. Libby is a master builder, Mellie is a master gardener, and Allie is a master baker. The day before 100 children visit for the Summer Party, Mellie tells Libby and Allie that she would like to try something other than gardening. Since all three are quite sure princesses can do anything, they decide to switch roles for a day. But things don't turn out exactly as planned. Critically acclaimed author Kate Lum's tales have been named a Junior Library Guild Selection and a Nick Jr. Family Magazine Best Book of the Year. This popular series takes an irreverent look at princesses who don't fit perfectly into the pages of classic storybooks. Narrator Barbara Caruso's whimsical performance conveys the individual charms of all three imperfect young ladies.

"42 months - this was a cute book and then when we watched the Disney Sleeping Beauty I recognized the a similar story line when the fairies decide to switch up who makes the cake, the dress etc. an everything goes wrong until at last they switch jobs again."
“An excess of tremendously ruffled gowns, dramatic hairdos, and other princessy accoutrements ensure capricious flair.”
“This sprightly tale will enchant aspiring princesses.”
" Not as good as Princesses are not quitters, but still a fun book. Save great art work. "
" Fun book! We can't wait to read more by this author. "
" Good message, and girls will love it. Illustrations are very dense and the story does not flow very well and is sometimes ambiguous. "
" Three princesses, each with a particular skill, decide they are bored with what they do and swap jobs. "
" We are the best at doing the things we love best and are passionate about, we can't be good at EVERYTHING because princesses are not perfect. Great message in a cute book about a baker, gardener, and builder princesses. My daughter loves it. "
" It's "Princesses Are Not Perfect" because it is the sequel to "Princesses Are Not Quitters". And each of these books gets in a message without slamming it home Berenstain Bear style! "
" Fun, girly artwork and a cute story about three princesses - a baker, gardener, and engineer - switching places for the day. Chaos ensues, adorabubs are had by all. "
" I liked the message that the title speaks it perfectly. I also loved the princesses' hair! Crazy! "
" Kids loved it... at first I thought the art was goofy, but my kids loved it and it grew on me. "
" Oh my goodness, I love the floofy-over-the-top art in this book! (I really want an insanely enormous princess dress now.) And, I love these princesses who love doing things for themselves. What a wonderful and funny story! "
" A pretty standard storyline, good illustrations. I wish the princesses didn't all look exactly alike except the color of their hair--and very stereotypical depictions of princesses. But that might just be me. "
