Princess Picky introduces readers to Princess Nicki, a seemingly flawless royal who excels in manners and appearance but draws the line at vegetables. Her father, the King, becomes increasingly concerned and enlists his entire staff to devise elaborate, often humorous, bribes and culinary creations to entice her. This droll and playful story, from Caldecott Honor recipient Marjorie Priceman, gently explores the common challenge of picky eating within a whimsical, royal setting. It's a lighthearted read that can open conversations about trying new foods and family dynamics.
When Nicki refuses to eat her vegetables, she goes from being called Princess Perfect to Princess Picky, and the worried king orders his staff to create bribes fit for a finicky royal eater.
