Holiday Princess A Princess Diaries Book Meg Cabot Chesley McLaren Books

Purchased for my girls for Christmas. I wanted a book that covered more than 1 holiday and this book covers all of the holidays from Hanukkah to New Years around the world. This book is recommended for kids ages 9-13 on the Scholastic's Books to read for the Holidays List, another reason I purchased it.

Holiday Princess A Princess Diaries Book Meg Cabot Chesley McLaren Books Reviews

I usually like Meg Cabot, but this book was a waste of my money. It is boring and not half as good as I expected of Cabot. The Princess Diaries Books, as oppose to the series, are just not worth it.
This book was actually really, really awesome. It's sort of like a report on holidays and customs with commentary from Mia interspersed between all the characters we know an love from the series. I've only read books 1-3 && 8 and plan to read the last 3 soon, so there is maybe a character or two there that I'm not too familiar with.

I loved reading each character's "voice" as they lent their expertise on various Winter Holidays. My favorite part of the book was when they went into the different customs in many countries for Christmas. I loved the accuracy of Christmas in NYC as I am an expert on that. Haha!

The illustrations by Chesly McLaren are perfect. I love how classically girly they are. Additionally, I actually learned a few things about the origins of holiday traditions and things!! One of the cooler things was the origin of the song Deck the Halls! (I will leave that for you to find out if you read it!)

Holiday Princess is a major win! It's got me all psyched for the Christmas season way in advance. Highly recommended for fans of the Princess Diaries and Winter Holiday lovers.
Back again with another addition to the Princess Diaries series, Princess Mia invites us to share the holidays with her and the family in her witty rendition of what happens during the holidays. Loaded with advice from everyone closely associated with her, each chapter is also laden with her own views and excerpts on how things really are.

From holiday etiquette on everything from addressing cards to purchasing gifts for others, to what's fashionable to eat, there's something for everyone in this little book (that is, if you're into being a princess and all). Mia is hilariously objective in her comments about her family's take on things, and Meg Cabot cleverly does this by putting all of Mia's comments in red, so you can't mistake her thoughts.

One of the highlights of the book is Mia's chapter on Christmas around the world. Throughout the chapter, there are dozens of countries, complete with folklore, tradition, and how this particular culture spends their holiday season --- a very useful and informative tool for the student who has to do a book report (hint, hint). It's all there. There might even be some countries listed that no one has ever heard of, or ever thought of, that celebrate their own version of Christmas.

Additionally, there are explanations on which movies are best to watch during Christmas, recipes to make, and the real story of truths and myths of what Christmas really means. Finally, it's a wrap with an in-depth guide to Kwanzaa and, of course, the symbolization of Happy New Year, complete with a listing of how to say it in 60 different languages!

Although we won't be in Genovia with the royal princess, she made sure we knew enough to have lasting memories, as if we were. Happy Holidays everyone!

A small, but necessary chapter in Princess Mia's journey.
