Before Princess Roselyn the Reticent can articulate what she needs, her parents (the king and queen) and the people of her kingdom anticipate it for her. \u201cWas that a speck of dirt? \u2018Run a bath for the princess!\u2019\u201d And when they think she wants a treat? Time for \u201cALL THE ICE CREAM IN THE LAND.\u201d Preparations of epic proportions ensue: a larger-than-life bowl and spoon, a massive cabinet to hold them, and oodles of cows to provide the ice cream\u2019s primary ingredient. But how will Roselyn consume such a gargantuan treat? Wizards are summoned to cast a spell making Roselyn larger. At last, when everything is prepared, Roselyn speaks\u2014and reveals that all she wanted was a slice of pizza. Brimming with over-the-top absurdity, the story will delight young readers with each outlandish new step. Relying heavily on repetition, Kastner\u2019s storytelling calls back to classic fairy tales, with pleasing results; her charmingly cartoonish illustrations include thoughtful details and evoke a medieval setting. Roselyn is tan-skinned and red-haired, while her mother is pale-skinned and red-haired, and her father is brown-skinned with a white moustache. The townspeople vary in skin tone.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
