These full-colour first readers are the next step up for fans of Tony Ross's Little Princess series. With short blocks of text and illustrations, these stories are split into chapters and will help children embrace reading independently. The royal reads are full of the fun, mischief and laughter of the picture books and follow the princess as she grows up and is forced to be acknowledged by her real ('awful') name; heads off on a search for her lost bear; and is awoken by a spooky noise.

But what will happen when she does...?
