Bookroo's summary

The Little Princess's day is filled with mishaps, from spilled paint to a monster under the bed. Her cries for her mom echo through the castle, as only her mother can make things right. But when she's taken to play with the Little Duchess, will she miss her mom, or find joy in new adventures? Meanwhile, the Queen finds herself missing her daughter's presence. Can the Little Princess learn to cope on her own, and what will that mean for her bond with her mom? Discover the heartwarming journey of independence and love.

From the publisher

A sure-fire winner – perfect for Mother’s Day, and the tenth in the Little Princess series, about the opinionated, yet endearing, little girl.

All day there had been disasters – the water pot went all over the latest painting, the Little Princess fell off the seesaw and banged her knee and, worst of all, there was a monster under the bed that night. The castle had been ringing with the constant shout of “I want my Mum!” And Mum always knew exactly what to do. But the next day the incorrigible Little Princess is taken to play with the Little Duchess. Will she miss her mum? Not if she’s having lots of fun. But as for the poor Queen, she misses her little girl!
