Princess Smartypants

Product Information

She adored the countryside and spent much of her life in Lincolnshire, before moving to Kent and then westward through Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. This princess doesn't want to be a queen: She likes her motorcycle, her dragon friends, and her independence! She’ll vet some suitors, but she’ll set such enormous tasks that there’s no way they’ll be able to accomplish them.

After Babette Cole died in January, The Guardian summed up her career rather well: “She created books on the kinds of disgusting topics that children love and adults mostly do not, and then, emboldened by their success, she went on to more controversial subjects, partly because she liked to shock and partly because she felt she had a duty to make sure children were properly informed. Princess Smartypants has been born into a life with a rigid path; she must marry into royalty (and produce heirs).Create a timetable showing the different things that Princess Smartypants might do at the start of the story. Their enduring success led to the more recent addition of Long Live Princess Smartypants (2004), Princess Smartypants Breaks the Rules (2009) and Princess Smartypants and the Missing Princes (2016).

But if good art polarises opinion, the same is often true of good literature – and why not children’s literature, too? Babette Cole created books on the kinds of disgusting topics that children love and adults mostly do not.

When suitors come to marry her she teaches all the princes a lesson by giving them horrible challenges to overcome so they run away. Her most famous book is probably Princess Smartypants, a reimagining of the traditional fairytale in which the helpless princess is whisked off her feet by her prince charming.BOOK OF THE MONTH - the much awaited latest installment in this popular diary-style series for ages 7+. Witty and truthful, it won best illustrated children’s book of the year at the British book awards and was translated into 73 languages. Then we reach the ending of the book, which appeals to my feminist nature and provokes all sorts of discussion about the children’s own families: Princess Smartypants doesn’t get married, but she does live happily ever after in a truly modern fairy tale.
