Part of the author’s Not Just a Princess six-book series about a group of supportive princesses with non-traditional jobs, this bright picture book sees Princess Becca, a skilled mechanic, come to rescue of a broken-down safari truck after being alerted to the problem by helicopter pilot Jade. Working under pressure amidst a bunch of nervy tourists and a herd of agitated rhinos, Princess Becca keeps her cool and saves the day. Alongside the positive representation of a girl mechanic, there’s a great undercurrent about girls supporting each other and teamwork, and all set in an engaging safari setting. As a whole, the series sets out to “Inspire your children to be ANYTHING that they want to be”, and Becca and Jade’s story certainly delivers on demonstrating the power of two self-sufficient girls who are great at solving problems and using their skills for a greater good.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has or knows a little princess.
This book is about a Princess called Becca who is an engineer that saves a group of tourists by fixing their jeep while out on safari. This is one of the books from a series that shows it’s acceptable for females to do a job that any male does. I found this to be such an inspirational book that should be read to all the little girls in this world to teach them that they can do whatever they want to when they grow up. I loved the illustrations in this book they were just so beautiful with lots of bright colours, which makes the book very appealing. The story is simple and easy to follow. I showed this book to my neighbours grand-daughter and she loved it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has or knows a little princess.... Read Full Review
