I think this is officially the first GAP book review, and I hesitate to start with this one because it will be tough to top:
The Secret Lives of Princesses written by Philippe Lechermeier and illustrated by Rébecca Dautremer. This book is simply stunning. The illustrations are rich with color, depth and details, and just gorgeous. This is a collection of profiles of the lesser known princesses... a tad offbeat and definitely not Disney. These princesses are forgetful, ill mannered, sleepy, and devilish, but are delicious in the way they're each depicted. The illustrations will delight princess aficionados (and even princess haters) of all ages. I'm convinced that I was the inspiration for princesses Somnia and Oblivia, but it's tough to be sure. The website gives a good glimpse into this secret world, but the book is worth holding in your hands and enjoying again and again. This was hands-down, our favorite book this holiday season. What was yours?
