Summary: Princess Smartypants is a definite crowd pleaser with both girls and boys age 4-7. The main character is incredibly well-developed, and the plot flips the script on traditional gender roles for girls. Princess Smartypants doesn't want to marry any of the candidates her parents keep pushing on her; this princess does not want to get married. In the end, Princess Smartypants gets exactly what she wants.
