Another great pick from Auntie Jill. We read this book at least once a week, usually at Charlotte's request. She loves reading about the pig and princess who switched places. A repeated line in the book is that "it's the sort of thing that happens all the time in books" and I can't wait for Charlie to understand the references as she grows up and we read more classic fairytales.

Also, amidst all the princess craze, I love the book's message that you don't have to be a princess to be happy.

This book was better than anticipated! A princess and a pig accidentally switch places and grow up believing a good/bad fairy blessed/cursed them to live this life. There are countless mentions of the fairy/folk tales that are referenced in the actual story. I also loved the cameo of Cinderella's Castle :)

Delightful fractured fairy tale! A princess and a pig trade places. References other classic fairy tales like The Prince and the Pauper and Sleeping Beauty - could get kids reading those, too, so they better understand the references in this book. I read this to my students from Kindergarten through 6th grade and every group enjoyed the book. It is a hit!
