\u201cAt home, I was the center of everything.\u201d Wild Princess has it good and knows it. The words \u201cShe showered me with attention\u201d are paired with an image of a pair of peach-colored human hands with painted fingernails giving Wild Princess a beauty treatment. One day some cardboard boxes appear, and \u201cthen the suitcases came out.\u201d Wild Princess knows the score. \u201cI wanted to go with her.\u201d Terrified of being left behind, Wild Princess \u201cdid a very quiet thing\u201d: An illustration shows the kitty stowed away in a packed suitcase. \u201cWhere was I going? I didn\u2019t know. Maybe the city? Maybe the beach?\u201d As it turns out\u2014and here\u2019s a twist readers won\u2019t see coming\u2014the suitcase is actually heading for a donation bin, as Wild Princess is informed by the possum who finds her there. Will Wild Princess make it back home? Much humor lies in the contrast between Wild Princess\u2019s innocent remarks (e.g., \u201cTape had never been my friend\u201d) and Fabiani\u2019s truth-telling digital illustrations (one reveals that Wild Princess has mauled one of the taped-up cardboard boxes). A wry touch: While the bodies of Wild Princess\u2019s human family are depicted in this book, their faces aren\u2019t. After all, she is\u00a0\u201cthe center of everything.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
