Not in That Dress, Princess! by Wendy Meddour
In a spirited challenge to gender stereotyping, Princess Bess shows that THERE IS NOTHING YOU CANT DO IN A DRESS!"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."
