Princessland

Romy wants to go to Princessland, where all girls are princesses. In Princessland, there are castles and royal balls, sparkling rivers and flower crowns. Romy's pet, the Lady Cat, promises to take her there. They spend the day climbing trees, dancing in the marketplace, and weaving daisy chains beside a fountain. Then the Lady Cat leads Romy home. But Romy didn't get to visit Princessland . . . or did she?

“Fun Book of Scary Stuff by Emily Jenkins, illustrated by Hyewon Yum: A Kirkus Best Book of the Year "Readers and their grown-ups will howl with laughter at the dry humor and the detailed illustrations that capture every eye roll and skeptical sideways glance. Jenkins and Yum perfectly portray the anxiety and false bravado of this delightful cast of characters who ultimately find fun in the scary stuff." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review "A not-so-scary look at talking about and tackling fears together." - School Library Journal , starred review "With humor and logic in their arsenal, Jenkins (A Fine Dessert) and Yum (The Twins' Little Sister) demystify fear in this encouraging show-and-tell." - Publishers Weekly" Treating fears with humor is a great way to get them out into the open, and this could be a funny discussion-starter as well as a complement to Halloween spookiness." -BCCB"Children will be amused and reassured by this playful combination of scary and fun." - Booklist”

"Full color spreads done in soft pastels show intricate details of diverse, smiling princesses with pets, flowers, jewels, and sweets. A feast of imagination."--Booklist

"Shades of shell pink and moss green add elegance to Tanaka's (Blanket & Bear, a Remarkable Pair) muted spreads; the town where Romy lives rivals Princessland for misty allure, as the girl describes elegant nightly balls and princesses who fight dragons while riding horses and lions...there's plenty of wonder in the real world, and imagination and storytelling offer surefire tickets into other ones--sentiments that are even easier to accept when they come from a talking cat."--Publishers Weekly

"A delightful ode to imaginative play that young dreamers are bound to enjoy." --School Library Journal
