This is so cute. I love it. It really tells a fantastic story full of magic and adventure and a little touch of creepiness. I love the morals behind it, that you never really know how much you love your sibling until they are gone, then you realize you would do anything to get them back, like conquering your fears or creating a light in the dark to scare away the monsters. I love the parallelism that Rothfuss creates within this story, between the point of view of the princess and her little brother Gubby. It is just so cute and heartwarming.

Loved it! This was recommended by a co-worker. It's rather dark... A "Grimme" fairy tale masquerading as a children's book. This book is probably... actually DEFINITELY not for young children. Older children may find it silly though.

If you like dark fairy tales, this one if for you. A fantastic sequel, and I am greatly looking forward to the next installment.

This second entry continues to be a delightful read that definitely isn't for kids.

I love the second installment of the princess and Mr. Whiffle. I treated myself to an autographed copy from Worldbuilders.org for an early Christmas gift and I’m so happy that I did. I loved that it was longer than the first. It expands on the princess’s family too. The illustrations are wonderful! I do hope that there will be a third book. They are so much fun and frankly, the princess is a badass too.

This perfect and devious little book is full of comical expressions, dreadful siblings, and adventure.

The thing about siblings is that only you can treat them badly. Nothing bonds you better then outside sources. This series is objectively the best series to raise your children on. Teach them to face their fears, especially the valid ones.

Exactly what having a younger sibling is like! Ha ha.
Ending one is just so... oh my, as George Takei would say. Those of us with a dark humor streak will want to run right out and read this to the younger sibling. Evil. Grounding! Okay, it'd be a bad idea.
But it's okay, it goes back to where you figured. And then, page 76, ... well, you really should read the first book before reading this second book. Otherwise you'll miss the hilarious moment, or at least not understand it as well as you might have.
Suspense! Heart pounding suspense! By the second ending I was deeply grateful that the book still had more pages. Talk about a cliffhanger.
I LOVED the next part. If I wasn't already shipping this author, I assure you, I'd have signed up for the fandom right then and there.
The final pages give a serious case of the "awws."
A fantastic book. Difficult to get a copy, but completely worth the effort.

I actually think this one was a big improvement on the first Princess and Mr. Whiffle book. I loved the glimpses of the parents and the whole Goblin scenario. The Mr-Whiffle-as-Scout gag actually made me laugh. It took the interesting mood of the first book and glossed it over a more substantial plot. Highly recommend for creepy children or adults who like picture books.
