Book description
Poor Poppy is feeling very down in the dumps - so much so she doesn't
even believe she is a true princess any more. She is envious of her
best friend because Honey is being taken on loads of fabulous outings
by her parents, Dad is working really hard, Grandpa always seems to be
busy with his vegetable garden and Mum is tired all the time because
of her big baby bump! To make things even worse, Poppy is convinced
that everyone likes Honey more than they like her and that they think
she is prettier, including Mum and Cousin Saffron.
Poppy decides that the only thing for it is to start acting more
like her best friend and to try to look more like her too. Poppy is
sure that once she has turned herself into a copy of Honey, everyone
will like her so much more.
Find out what happens when Poppy tries to become just like Honey.
Will it make her happy or will she realize that everyone is different
and that every little girl is a true princess in her own way?
Janey was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the seaside just
outside the city. Janey published the first two Princess Poppy books
herself (with her own illustrations) and the books were so popular
that Random House Children's Books soon bought the series and
re-packaged the books. The series is now going from strength to
strength, including picture books, novels for young readers, activity
books and sumptuous gift books.
Janey read English at Edinburgh University specializing in the
Victorian novel. Following this she became a teacher - a career that
she absolutely adored - and then, with her husband, set up The
Jelly Club, which has become an extremely successful chain of
children's activity centres in Scotland. She still very much enjoys
visiting schools and talking to children to find out what they like
doing and what makes them laugh. Janey and her husband live in
Edinburgh with their three sons.
