Book is smaller than hand

Book is smaller than hand
The story was cute, just should have read the small print. Book is 3.5" x 3.5" so tiny. Not ideal for children to handle on own. Just received book today and we've lost it twice.

This is my favorite book to give for a new baby girl. It shows the intelligence, strength, and courage of what we all hope our baby girls grow into. The illustrations are so fun and enjoyable for all ages.

The Princess sets out to solve the problem, outsmarts the dragon, and takes no guff from the Prince. Perfect lessons for a young girl.

I've read this aloud so many times that I have it memorized. The parents of every girl baby gets a copy from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be aware of the size!!

I was surprised when the first copy arrived because I hadn't checked the dimensions. It was inexpensive (I needed something around that price to get me to free shipping), and I remembered the book from when my goddaughter was little. I laughed out loud at the size and was glad I didn't need that book for a gift or anything! I've since ordered several other copies, because - opened to the middle - they will go at a letter rate (2 or 3 oz, though) & everyone who received it was delighted to get a sweet book in the mail.

I'd love to find other books in this size/format! But for actually handing to a child to read? It's ludicrous.

I guess I should have looked further down for the dimensions of the book. But when you see paperback book and nothing on the title for how small it is I assumed it would be a regular size book. Not worth the money for a 3inch book. Overall the storyline of the book is great

Bought as a gift for bedtime reading. Fantastic story with strong female role model. Will be good for all ages but especially as an antidote to all the sickly “and they lived happily ever after” stories, because “I lived happily ever after” is better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the story, too tiny
Reviewed in India on December 6, 2020

Loved the story for my 4.5 yo daughter who loves princesses. Needed this in the world obsessed with beauty. The Prince is representing the society, who cares more about how the princess is dressed than how brave she is and other good things about her. The princess is all of us that need to make these people shut up and stay away from this negativity. I just wish i checked the size before buying, my bad, but it’s too tiny.
