Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Andrews and Hamilton’s narrative voice, a mixture of self-assured proclamations and parenthetical confidences, is fun, and for every reference to glitter, tutus, and sparkle, there are examples of the heroine’s rough-and-tumble side (sliding down a banister or pursuing a frog across a stream)…Geraldine radiates noblesse oblige, heedless energy, and a sense of destiny—she’s Eloise crossed with Hillary Clinton.” —Publishers Weekly
“Imaginative play and role playing rule the day in this simple story. Gerry is both feminine and practical, a realistic blend of traits shared by many modern girls. They will enjoy seeing themselves on the pages of this sparkly text.” —Children’s Literature
“A girl who believes she is really a princess isn’t a new premise in children’s literature, so it’s refreshing to find a very real little girl as our protagonist, especially given a title that evokes an expectation of a more traditionally froufrou young royal.” —Booklist
“As any library staff member will tell you, there can never be too many princess stories…However, in the grand tradition of other literary, bedazzled mini-divas, Geraldine’s imagination and love for the color pink brighten the daily grind of being a scab-kneed little girl. Readers will enjoy Geraldine’s princess attitude.” —School Library Journal
“Gerry exudes an undeniable joie de vivre. The mother-daughter team successfully demonstrates an understanding of that magical stage of childhood in which determination, desire, and dreams can transform reality. Fellow princess-obsessed readers will easily recognize a kindred spirit; those whose thinking is more in line with Gerry’s brother Stewart will see the pink sparkles on the cover and stay away.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Young Alison Cordaro’s narration is pitch-perfect as she portrays Princess Geraldine, who reigns her kingdom in a take-charge kind of way…Cordaro gives dimension to Geraldine’s imaginative world in a charming voice that doesn’t succumb to being cutesy. The production is further enhanced by a terrific interview with the mother-daughter writing team, who discuss their character and collaborations, as well as their delight in Cordaro’s depiction of Geraldine. An interview with the talented young narrator herself follows. Listeners will be entertained and educated. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award. —AudioFile
