About this title

Review:

"This Posey book is an especially winning tale. . . . Storytelling in a book for newly independent readers can seem stiff, but Greene doesn't miss a step. Posey is the perfect fictional friend for any first-grade girl." --Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Princess Posey
"Greene's simple writing style and straightforward plot is ideal for advanced first graders or beginning second-grade readers."--School Library Journal

"Greene proves herself yet again to be an adept chronicler of the ups and downs of the first year of school, and her simple, straightforward prose gives just the right amount of emotional heft to these mini- dramas, neither exaggerating nor reducing Posey's situation. . . . Posey continues to be a winning protagonist, and her escapades are a series worth having on hand." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
