Princess Cora and the Crocodile, Schlitz Laura Amy

Princess Cora is sick of boring lessons. Shes sick of running in circles around the dungeon gym. Shes sick, sick, sick of taking three baths a day. And her parents wont let her have a dog. But when she writes to her fairy godmother for help, she doesnt expect that help to come in the form of a crocodile--a crocodile who does not behave properly. With perfectly paced dry comedy, childrens book luminaries Laura Amy Schlitz and Brian Floca send Princess Cora on a delightful outdoor adventure -- climbing trees getting dirty having fun -- while her alter ego wreaks utter havoc inside the castle, obliging one pair of royal helicopter parents to reconsider their ways.
