Fearless princess and a whining dragon? What sort of a fairy tale is this? Not a fairy tale at all! A fully illustrated self-care guide for kids.
“Ow! Ow! That hurts!” Just listen to that wailing. A little Dragon from a cave has a toothache—and no idea that a headstrong little Princess is about to take him in hand. Now, now, little Dragon, that’s enough of that! Take this toothbrush and toothpaste and our lesson can begin. The next thing we know, the weeping, messy little Dragon will be a friend for all seasons! Thanks to the Princess, he will learn the right way to wash his hands and brush his teeth, and a little about keeping things clean and tidy. He will eat green vegetables and exchange his boredom for sports.
Would you like to join the Dragon in learning about a healthy lifestyle? You would? Well then let the little Princess show you how it’s done.
