Princess Cora never gets to have any fun. Ever since she was born, her parents have been busy preparing her to become queen. This includes taking three baths a day, studying boring books on how to run a kingdom, and exercising so that she’ll be strong. She writes a letter to her fairy godmother, but instead of getting the furry, golden dog she wants, a box with a crocodile shows up. The plan is to have the crocodile pretend to be Princess Cora so that Cora can have a day to do whatever she wants. Outfitted in a pink dress and wearing a mop for a wig, the crocodile sort of convinces the nanny, King, and Queen that he’s Princess Cora. But when he gets too frustrated and ends up biting everyone, Princess Cora comes to their rescue and strikes a deal for more fun-filled days. Try this book if you enjoy the Princess in Black or Mercy Watson series.
