The Popcorn Princess

About the Book

Penelope loves popcorn. She thinks the popcorn popper is magical. In fact, the very first word she says is “popcorn.”

Penelope’s wagon is filled with popcorn. Her fluffy mattress, pillow, and quilt are filled with popcorn. She puts popcorn in her swimming pool for splash parties. Her mother and father call her Popcorn Princess. There’s popcorn everywhere. Even her dog gets lost in the popcorn.

But one day, something tragic happens. The house pops apart with a popping sound that can be heard throughout the neighborhood. Penelope discovers that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

With one surprise popcorn recipe included, this picture book for children tells a fun tale about one girl who loves light, fluffy clouds of popcorn more than anything else.
