Primrose by Alex T. SmithPrimrose
When you're a princess, you can do whatever you like. Or can you? Life for Princess Primrose is rather dull because she's not allowed to climb trees, dig up muddy vegetables or even splash in the fountain. Everyone in the royal household is properly proper, and Primrose longs to have some serious FUN. But things take a turn for the better when Primrose's Grandmama comes for a visit and reminds everyone never to say no to a spot of fun.

They soon learn, though, that a house is more than the sum of its parts. With a clever and reassuring resolution, this warm, witty tale about breaking up and making up will charm children and adults alike.
