What a charming book for preteen girls! I loved the layout of this new book by Sheila Walsh that is primarly geared towards young ladies that are in the "middle school" years. As the subtitle states, this book is "Royal Tips for Manners, Etiquette, and True Beauty." From learning how to dress like a princess (a.k.a. being modest!) to acting like a princess (a.k.a. being respectful and polite), this book covers all of the areas that a young lady faces daily and shows her how to keep God at the center of every activity she participates in.
I love the way that Sheila Walsh places Bible verses that correspond with each topic, making it REAL for the girls to apply these to their every day lives! Written in a witty, fun, and humorous manner, girls will love reading this book and using it as a reference. It is full of activities and ideas that they can share with their little girlfriends.
One of my favorite sections that made me chuckle outloud was entitled "Sweet Smells." She wrote: "Princesses do not sweat. Horses sweat, boys perspire, but girls -- especially princesses -- glow. The secret is to keep from glowing so much that all the flowers around you wilt from the smell." She then goes on to explain that girls' glistening is just God's way of helping our bodies to cool off, and she tells ways that stay "fresh" all day long.
I received this complimentary book from Thomas Nelson and BookSneeze to read and review. All opinions of this book are my own. I plan to pass this particular book along to my niece, as she is entering the preteen years and loves to pretend that she is a princess! I highly recommend this book for your preteen daughter / friends to read!
