  • Praise for The Very Fairy Princess:
    "[Geraldine] lets kids know it's not necessary to be prim and proper to be a 'real' princess; princesses who just want to have fun will find plenty of that here." - Booklist
    "The mother-daughter team successfully demonstrates an understanding of that magical stage of childhood in which determination, desire and dreams can transform reality." - Kirkus
    "Geraldine radiates noblesse oblige, heedless energy, and a sense of destiny-she's Eloise crossed with Hillary Clinton." - PW

    Praise for Julie Andrews' Collection of Poems, Songs, and Lullabies:
    New York Times Bestseller
    "This is a warmly sentimental collection, leavened with humor and poignancy, ...educators and librarians will also embrace it for its sincere advocacy of reading aloud." - SLJ
    "Julie Andrews and her daughter's selection of material for children... is bound to become a favorite." - PW
