A Pocketful of Princess Posey

The first three Princess Posey books in one!

This omnibus is the perfect introduction to Princess Posey, every first grader's best friend. It contains the first three books of the Princess Posey, First Grader series: Princess Posey and the First Grade Parade, Princess Posey and the Perfect Present, and Princess Posey and the Next-Door Dog.

When Posey puts on her tutu, she turns into Princess Posey, a brave and special girl who can do anything. From starting first grade, to finding the perfect present for her teacher, and working out how to befriend her new neighbor's dog, stories from Posey's life make reading sparkle.* “Winning characters in realistic situations…. Pure magic for emerging readers.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Princess Posey and the Christmas Magic
 
“Posey is the perfect fictional friend for any first-grade girl.”
—Kirkus Reviews, on Princess Posey and the Next-Door Dog
 
“It is an impressive feat when just a few short sentences can relay the complicated relationship dynamics as perceived by a first-grader, but Greene does it again and again as she chronicles Posey’s emotional endeavors with tenderness and compassion. Young readers will relate to Posey’s need to feel special in the eyes of one she admires, and they’ll be delighted when she finds a way to do so while remaining true to herself.”
—BCCB, on Princess Posey and the Perfect Present
 
“Generously illustrated, very short chapters capture the concerns of primary graders.”
—The Horn Book, on Princess Posey and the First Grade Parade
