Never Let a Princess Paint




Unicorns run on RAINBOWS, princesses run KINGDOMS... so why can't they PAINT together?

Celebrate the little artist in your life with this hilarious picture book from bestselling author Diane Alber that asks the question: if princesses run entire KINGDOMS and unicorns run on RAINBOWS...why can't they PAINT together?

Even if everyone says "never let a princess paint with her unicorn," one little princess is determined to unleash her inner artist with her silly stead by her side. But princesses aren't all ballgowns and posh perfection…give them a paint brush, a unicorn, and who KNOWS what colorful, magical messes will happen. With bright illustrations that jump off the page and hilarious text, parents, educators, and children ages 4-10 will love this laugh-out-loud story that celebrates the power of creativity.

This funny picture book with one very inde-paint-ent princess is the perfect read-aloud or gift opportunity for birthdays, bedtime, or any occasion!

I'm not sure if you noticed my dazzling crown, but I'm a princess. And I do pretty much everything with my pet unicorn. So when I heard NEVER LET A PRINCESS PAINT WITH HER UNICORN, I was shocked!
