About this book
A funny, cautionary tale that shows that the most important things are NOT things!
High up in the tower
Little Ruby lounged in bed
"My special day must be the best
Or ELSE!" the Princess said.
She shouted out her orders
While the servants bowed and smiled
She yelled and bawled and kicked her feet
She WAS a horrid child!
But how many presents are too many? With gifts piled high in every room, cracks soon start to appear - quite literally!
But from disaster comes enlightenment and Princess Ruby - and her daddy - finally realise what they really value the most can not be bought.
A silly, cautionary tale and gentle reminder that we all get carried away at times!

“An up-to-date cautionary tale with a powerful punch and peachy ending.”
“This book is an absolute delight.”
“The Princess and the Presents is true picture-book perfection - a gorgeous, dazzling combination of brilliantly clever rhyming text and fabulously exuberant illustrations. Love it!”
“If you want to see a Diva of monumental proportions then look no further. This horror of a spoilt brat really takes the royal biscuit!
Luckily she does get the opportunity to redeem herself by the end of the book, but both of my children commented on how dreadful her behaviour is.
It’s good to remind ourselves of how we should behave and this book certainly helps reinforce this!”
