The Princess in Black's latest caper involves a playdate with Princess Sneezewort. For once, the monster situation seems under control, now that the Goat Avenger (aka Duff) is assisting. But Magnolia (aka the PIB) is unaware that a sneaky shape-changing monster has stowed away in her carriage, and the hungry beast causes no end of problems. Certain that Magnolia is afraid of monsters, Sneezewort decides to become a superhero herself, the Princess in Blankets. The superheroines have great fun locating the monster (who morphs from bush to streetlight to park bench), pummeling him with ninja moves, and finally returning him to Monster Land. An unsung strength of this series is its successful blending of traditional masculine and feminine pursuits in stories that promote active, imaginative play for all genders. Pham's colorful illustrations are pleasing as always; young readers will especially delight in locating the camouflaged monster in the art. With spot-on humor for its intended audience, this is sure to please series fans and newcomers alike.

Noseholes and elephants! A pet-eating monster interrupts a perfect playdate with Princess Sneezewort . . . but who is that new masked avenger?
Princess Magnolia and Princess Sneezewort have plans . . . mysterious plans, like a princess playdate! They dress-up slam! They karaoke jam! They playhouse romp and snack-time stomp! But then a shout from outside Princess Sneezewort's castle interrupts their fun. It’s a monster trying to eat someone’s kitty! This is a job for the Princess in Black. Yet when the Princess in Black gets there, she finds only a masked stranger and no monster in sight . . . or is there? Action and humor abound in this ode to friendship that proves that when shape-shifting monsters intrude on your plans, two heroes are better than one.
