Why read it?
1 author picked Princesses Can Fix It! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoyed how the characters in this story did not want to be confined to stereotypes, preferring to explore beyond their gender and princely station. They want to explore all their interests, from sewing to pulley building, in their own unique way. I found it hilarious that the “problem” to fix consisted of alligators out of their moat. The illustrations are super fun, with alligators hiding in the silliest places.
From Ana's list on The best picture book retellings with characters out of character.
