5-8 Infant/Junior

Katy and Bella's tenth birthday present from Uncle Ted is certainly a surprise - or rather two surprises in one. The first is in the shape of their princess outfits, but next day comes an even bigger one when the identity of their escort, Captain Bunting, is revealed. Enjoyable solo reading for younger juniors, though there seems to be something of a mis-match between the age of the girls and that of the target audience for this book.
