Could you be a NASCAR race announcer? Tom Angleberger could. Reading this book is like listening to a race announcer as they follow their favorite driver. The author plays on classic characters with grace and speed, and overall it just works. Add some amazing pictures, and you get a super fun racing book for all ages. ( )

This princess is not sitting up in a tower or searching for her true love. In fact, she is in a race against every single fairy tale character you can imagine. Although the story is decent, the illustrations are what makes the book. The pictures are crisp, colorful, modern, and have sharp lines. The illustrations remind me so much of Wreck it Ralph, and even the main character looks similar to Vanellope. I think this book would be perfect for children who are familiar with the classic fairy tales because if they aren't familiar with those characters they will have a hard time understanding the humor of the book.

Throughout the book, the princess was the fastest of them all. She's racing all of the characters from the best fairytales! Unlike other princesses in other tales, this princess doesn't need saving. She's her own person, and I love that Angleberger did that in this story. She's a tough girl that races cars in a pink dress! I think this would be a great book to read to children so they can see that not all princesses need saving and if you want to drive a race car you most definitely can! I also enjoyed the illustrations; they are hilarious! They're so colorful, and the details and emotions in all the characters are amazing! ( )

Summary: This book is about a princess racing a car. She passes several familiar fairy tale characters. In the end, she wins!
Opinion: This book is cook and kinds breaks princess stereotypes. I enjoyed seeing all the different characters that popped up and I think kids would too. I totally understand why this book won an award! ( )
