Fractured fairy tales are paired with a lesson in manners in this joyfully illustrated picture book about a spunky-but-imperfect princess.
From the top of her tiara to the tips of her petite feet, Princess Isabel was perfect in every way but one: she wouldn't say "please." This character flaw soon catches up with her.
Three times Isabel's chance to find true love is thwarted by her terrible manners. First when a prince tries to fit a slipper on her tiny foot, then when her beautiful stepmother offers her a poisoned apple, and finally when a frog prince refuses to retrieve her ball.
But in the end, Princess Isabel learns her lesson and lives happily ever after.
