Product Description
Sometimes it takes a shocking experience for us to realize the truth about ourselves. Such was the case with Princess Lillian, who was desperate to escape from her familys annoyingly affectionate new puppy. While attending an exclusive party, she makes an astounding discovery that propels her into a daring adventure. Along the way she encounters an angry drunk, a vicious dog, a surly restaurant patron, and finally prison. Fortunately, all ends well and the Princess returns home safelyand better able to appreciate her blessings. As we follow the perilous journey of this sassy little miss, each of us will see more clearly the many blessings in our own lives.

adorable, well-presented tale with a twist March 17, 2005
The Gollings (California)
Trisha Howell's children's books are always layered, with the sweetest stuff underneath the froth on top. Kids will love the "princess" and identify with her rebellion against changes outside her control ... doesn't that happen to every kid? And the sweet, humorous resolution will bring a smile to the face of every reader. Highly recommended.
My kids love this book! January 6, 2005

What a surprise this book gave my children. January 3, 2005
Angela (Tampa Bay, FL USA)
The Princess and the Pekinese was a delightful book. My children loved the surprise of who a main character actually was. They performed a magical puppet show based on the book. I know when a book touches my children because it brings out wonderful creativity in drawings or activities they do afterwards, and this book definitely did.
A beautiful, touching, and true book. January 1, 2005
Sandra Feder
Princess Lillian is a regal little Yorkie who is at the center of her family's love and attention. Then they get a new puppy, and she cannot stand the attention he gets -- or gives her. So she runs away. By the time she returns, she has learned to appreciate the blessings she has.
This is such a beautiful book, from the story to the illustrations. If you have ever had two (or more) dogs, you appreciate the complex relations between them. They truly have their own personalities, and their own objectives. The relationship between Princess Lillian and the Pekinese rings true.
For anyone -- dog lovers or just lovers, of all ages -- this book will touch your heart. And when you read what inspired Trisha to write this story, it will move you.

This is a Trisha Howell classic. Like all of her books, it presents life in its whimsical and glowing aspects. I have enjoyed reading it to several children.
