librarianryan 's review for:

ABC of Fantastic Princes by Willy Puchner
2.0

This is one of those pictures books like "Go the FUck to Bed" that must be meant for adults. The entire book is one big tongue twister. Any kid reading this would need to read it with a dictionary. Plus who would ever want to marry one of these princes. Not Me.

That being said, I did enjoy the title. We all got a great laugh trying to read it out loud in the back room of the library. But as an every day book to give to a child, probably not. Why not, because this is the epitome of wordy. That is the point of the title. As each prince is introduced such as prince P, most everything about him is a p word which is great. But sometimes the words seem made up or misspelled. Plus you would spend sooooooooo much time explaining what all the words mean, and I doubt many parents would know the meaning of 1/2 of them.
