Not in That Dress, Princess!

"A spirited riposte to gender stereotypes pairing a funny rhyming text with energetic art."

-- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *

"A very funny rhyming book showing there isn't anything that can't be done in a dress. Brilliant!"

-- Jo Bowers * Associate Dean, Cardiff Metropolitan University *

"What a joy to see a picture book cover with an evidently brave Princess cleaning the teeth of a hippopotamus as he lazes in the water. Two Princes, with horrified expressions on their faces, watch from the riverbank. So, right from the outset, my granddaughter and I realised that this was going to be a story about a girl who does stuff."

* Letterpress Project *

"Full of spirit and exuding energy from cover to cover, this is the story of how a strong-minded young Princess Bess tosses aside gender stereotyping norms."

* Red Reading Hub *

"Great to read aloud...colourful, lively illustrations fill every page and provide lots of humour and visual interest to engage the reader. This light-hearted, imaginative picture book contains an important underlying message, that gender is not a barrier to following dreams and embarking on adventures, big and small. Featuring ethnically diverse character, this inclusive tale joyfully celebrates gender equality, individuality and self-expression."
