Synopsis

As an only child the feisty Little Princess is used to getting what she wants, but sometimes she doesn’t know what she wants and has to work things out for herself. Sometimes the things she wants most cannot be given but must be learned.

Points to consider

Words of caution

The Princess is prone to yelling at people when she wants something to happen immediately.
During one episode, the Princess struggled to find her special talent, which in the end wound up being that she was really good at doing armpit farts. She thought it was great fun, and even though it made people uncomfortable her efforts were applauded. Some children may be inclined to copy the princess’ behaviour.

Positive aspects

demonstrates that there are many things in life that cannot be given, these things must be found within or learned
demonstrates persistence and determination
