Guitars! Dragons! Giant bees! A snake eating cake!
Excellent book. Greg Pak was even kind enough to sign it to my two girls. Highly recommend.

Oops, when i backed this on Kickstarter I didn't realize that either 1) it was a sequel or 2) we didn't own the first book. Still enjoyable on its own, a short but needed lesson on being nice to your friends even if they're not "the best" at whatever you're trying to do. Wide variety of kids, dragons, and other friends at the Battle of the Bands makes this perfect for children.

Too young for me, but I think my kid will love it.

'The Princess Who Saved Herself' by Greg Pak with illustrations by Takeshi Miyazawa is a picture book inspired by a song by Jonathan Coulton.
In this story, the princess is an awesome kid who plays guitar and has a pet snake. The evil queen is annoyed by the noise and sends a dragon to stop the princess, but not much can stop this princess. The ending takes a nice turn.
I loved this rhyming heartfelt book. If my children were younger, we'd have a great time reading and laughing out loud. The illustrations are just fantastic!

Cute graphic novel that would be great for a younger audience. It's a short story about friendship and sticking by your friends, even in tough times. Overall, I think this would make a great addition to any library or your personal collection.

The best solutions are non-violent, as the Princess in this story demonstrates. Instead of beating up the dragon that attacks her, she talks to it. Instead of fighting with the bee that attacks her, she invites it over for tea.
It is good to have strong princesses as examples to little girls, as well as big girls.
Fun story, and you should seek out the original song that this was based on by Jonathan Coulton. Catchy lyrics, and fun to listen to.
Wonderful illustrations, and a dynamic girl, with her pet snake and her red guitar.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

3.5 stars. Cute story about the importance of friendship & treating others kindly. I love the illustrations. This was cute & I enjoyed it. I think it has a place in classrooms and school libraries as the story teaches an important lesson. Themes include friendship, cooperation/working with others, music, and bullying.
Thank you, BOOM! for the advance copy.
