Book Details
ONCE UPON A TIME…
A princess laughed, A princess sang, Another made a trade.
One told stories, One was kind, Another refused to wed.
One cast spells, One was cursed, Another silently sewed every day.
And one tossed golden apples away in ten fairy tales retold.
In Princess Tales Around the World ten beloved princess stories, ingeniously told and gorgeously illustrated—with hidden pictures for readers to find—by author Grace Maccarone and artist Gail de Marcken, will delight readers, happily ever after.
Tales include: Rapunzel, The Golden Goose, The Little Mermaid, The Firebird, Scheherazade, Princess Moonlight, The Princess on the Glass Hill, The Loathsome Dragon, Toads and Diamonds, and Six Swans, with Source Notes from the author.

"Fantastical illustrations combine with beautifully rhymed poetry in this collection of princess stories from all over the world.... Fun and colorful illustrations cover most of the pages, accompanied by the decoratively framed text. The clever and witty rhymes will be fun for children to read aloud, whether alone or with others." — Booklist
"An artistic and poetic approach to fairy tales" —School Library Journal
Princess Tales:
“These are paintings to pore over: depictions of familiar fairy tales in sometimes unusual settings that are each filled with tiny seek-and-find details meant to entrance 3- to 8-year-olds. The accompanying text by Grace Maccarone rattles along in droll rhyme that is a pleasure to read aloud (though in print so small that adults may do some poring themselves).” —The Wall Street Journal
“...a splendid reimagining of favorite stories.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“The fun lives in the art.” —School Library Journal
