Princess Baby

"Why doesn't anyone ever call me by my REAL name?" wonders the sweet little girl in Princess Baby, by Karen Katz. She patiently explains that she is not a buttercup or a giggly goose. And please, never ever call her Sweet Gumdrop.

Her real name, of course, is Princess Baby.

My 2-year-old daughter adores this book. So much, in fact, that now she believes her name is Princess Baby.

We also love Katz's other books, especially Where is Baby's Belly Button?, an adorable lift-the-flap book that my daughter insists on reading again and again.
