<p>"A spirited riposte to gender stereotypes pairing a funny rhyming text with energetic art."</p>

- Fiona Noble, The Bookseller

<p>"A very funny rhyming book showing there isn't anything that can't be done in a dress. Brilliant!"</p>

- Jo Bowers, Associate Dean, Cardiff Metropolitan University

<p>"What a joy to see a picture book cover with an evidently brave Princess cleaning the teeth of a hippopotamus as he lazes in the water. Two Princes, with horrified expressions on their faces, watch from the riverbank. So, right from the outset, my granddaughter and I realised that this was going to be a story about a girl who does stuff."</p>

<p>"Full of spirit and exuding energy from cover to cover, this is the story of how a strong-minded young Princess Bess tosses aside gender stereotyping norms."</p>

Red Reading Hub

<p>"Great to read aloud...colourful, lively illustrations fill every page and provide lots of humour and visual interest to engage the reader. This light-hearted, imaginative picture book contains an important underlying message, that gender is not a barrier to following dreams and embarking on adventures, big and small. Featuring ethnically diverse character, this inclusive tale joyfully celebrates gender equality, individuality and self-expression."</p>
