A note for parents
This is a charming, comic-illustrated picture book by Kate Beaton that subverts typical princess-and-warrior tropes with humor and heart. The 'battles' are silly schoolyard games (dodgeball, spitball fights) rather than anything genuinely violent. The story celebrates unconventional heroism, acceptance of what you receive, and the unexpected strength found in kindness and cleverness.

From the publisher
Princess Pinecone would like a real war horse for her birthday, but instead gets a plump, cute pony--but sometimes cuteness can be a kind of weapon, especially in a fight with dodgeballs and spitballs and hairballs and squareballs.
