4.5 stars. A really adorable and cute picture book.
My oh my, this was adorable. A baby is born, and her mom (the queen) drops her from the tower (who does that btw?), baby falls and lands in a carriage with a pig. Pig goes up and becomes the princess.
Instead of finding the real princess, the king and queen immediately assumed that a bad fairy has cursed the princess and turned her to a pig.
While the baby princess is now with farmers who assume the same. :) Because this is what happens sometimes in stories.
I really liked the princess, and the pig was also funny. It was fun to see the various lifestyles. The real princess on a farm and having fun, the pig needing to study, to wear elaborate clothes and more.
The ending was interesting (I won't spoil anything), just that I loved it and I am happy the writer went for this ending instead of the one I was thinking off.

This book has me excited for teaching "text to text connections" - each time a wacky thing happens to a character in this hodgepodge of fractured fairy tales, they refer to a well-known fairy well where this "always happens." So cute!

Ridiculously nonsensical. Delightfully hysterical. A great read-aloud for any age group.

This book made me laugh out loud. I’m not crazy about how the pig is treated/discussed but the premise of the book is silly and hilarious. I also enjoyed the meta aspects of the story.

En morsom vri på den klassiske eventyrformelen. Tror den kan falle i god smak hos de små som de store. Fungerte fint da jeg hadde en barnehage på besøk på biblioteket for en lesestund for barn.

AWESOME riff on the usual fairy tale tropes. Lots of fun. Beautifully illustrated.

The princess and the pig are swapped at birth. Will they regain their own roles or will they follow the way the stories always go?
