En morsom vri på den klassiske eventyrformelen. Tror den kan falle i god smak hos de små som de store. Fungerte fint da jeg hadde en barnehage på besøk på biblioteket for en lesestund for barn.

4.5 stars. A really adorable and cute picture book.
My oh my, this was adorable. A baby is born, and her mom (the queen) drops her from the tower (who does that btw?), baby falls and lands in a carriage with a pig. Pig goes up and becomes the princess.
Instead of finding the real princess, the king and queen immediately assumed that a bad fairy has cursed the princess and turned her to a pig.
While the baby princess is now with farmers who assume the same. :) Because this is what happens sometimes in stories.
I really liked the princess, and the pig was also funny. It was fun to see the various lifestyles. The real princess on a farm and having fun, the pig needing to study, to wear elaborate clothes and more.
The ending was interesting (I won't spoil anything), just that I loved it and I am happy the writer went for this ending instead of the one I was thinking off.

AWESOME riff on the usual fairy tale tropes. Lots of fun. Beautifully illustrated.

The princess and the pig are swapped at birth. Will they regain their own roles or will they follow the way the stories always go?

Another great pick from Auntie Jill. We read this book at least once a week, usually at Charlotte's request. She loves reading about the pig and princess who switched places. A repeated line in the book is that "it's the sort of thing that happens all the time in books" and I can't wait for Charlie to understand the references as she grows up and we read more classic fairytales.
Also, amidst all the princess craze, I love the book's message that you don't have to be a princess to be happy.

This book was better than anticipated! A princess and a pig accidentally switch places and grow up believing a good/bad fairy blessed/cursed them to live this life. There are countless mentions of the fairy/folk tales that are referenced in the actual story. I also loved the cameo of Cinderella's Castle :)

I read this to a group of kindergarteners this week. They loved it. The story is simple but funny.
