"Posey is the perfect fictional friend for any first-grade girl."—Kirkus Reviews

Posey loves first grade, her two new best friends, and, most of all, her teacher Miss Lee. When Miss Lee announces that her birthday is the next day, Posey can hardly wait to give her the pink home grown roses from her backyard. But when her friend brings Miss Lee a big bouquet from a florist, Posey feels like her present isn't special enough. What's the Pink Princess to do?

Make reading sparkle in the second book of this chapter book series for first grade readers!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“It is an impressive feat when just a few short sentences can relay the complicated relationship dynamics as perceived by a first-grader, but Greene does it again and again as she chronicles Posey’s emotional endeavors with tenderness and compassion. Young readers will relate to Posey’s need to feel special in the eyes of one she admires, and they’ll be delighted when she finds a way to do so while remaining true to herself.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“Greene continues to get the social dynamic of first-grade girls perfect. . . . Very short chapters, generous font, lots of eye-saving white space on each page and frequent black-and-white illustrations make this early chapter book accessible to the very earliest reader. Posey is flawed in a way that is absolutely perfect. She struggles with her emotions and finds her way back with the help of her mother, teacher and small circle of buddies.” — Kirkus Reviews

"Once again, Greene’s brief chapters capture a first grader’s enthusiasm, small but real heartache, and problem-solving gumption--thank goodness for that pink tutu that turns Posey into Princess Posey, who 'wouldn’t cry if someone gave the same present. She would just think of another present.'" — The Horn Book

About the Author

Stephanie Greene is a long time fan of princesses. She admires their tutus and glittery veils and necklaces - the works! She is happy that reviewers think Posey is “charming” and “sparkly” and hopes her readers will love all of the new Posey books, too. Stephanie Greene lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like It More Than My 5 Year Old
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014

We got a Princess Posey book from the library, which I thought was perfect for my 5 year old. She wants chapter books like big sis, and Princess Posey books are easy chapter books for the 5-7 crowd. I bought this one, and although the 5 year old will sit and listen (and even pick out words here and there), it's not one of her go-to books. I'm hopeful that she'll enjoy it more as she starts reading more on her own.

This series makes a great introduction to chapter books for kids in 1st grade. As a librarian, I am always looking for books that make the transition from early readers to chapter books a fun experience, and these books fit the bill. The illustrations do a fine job of breaking up the text, so it is not so intimidating to read. And the smooth writing makes for a great read-a-loud. I plan to use these with my upcoming first graders.

While these books seem to be girly books, Posey does like to pretend she is a princess after all, but there is much that boys can relate to as well, such as being teased and facing fears. The questions for discussion at the back of the first book provide a nice way to get kids talking and the craft at the end of the second book is perfect for girls reading on their own to attempt (a magic wand). Highly recommended for students who are ready for chapter books and a character they can relate to. (I doubt however, that many boys will pick these up on their own, the titles and covers are definitely aimed at girls.)

Stumbled upon this series by accident. My daughter (in 1st grade) was worried that they were too difficult for her (she had never read a chapter book by herself before). She had read book 1 by the end of 1st grade and I could hardly keep up with her as fast as she was finishing them. She's read all the books multiple times and still loves them (in 3rd grade). Cute stories with good lessons.

My granddaughter has just finished kindergarten and has really gotten into reading chapter books. After much research and careful consideration, I picked her a couple of the Princess Posey books. It was a great choice. She LOVES them and has literally devoured these books - reading 1or 2 each week. I highly recommend them for girls just beginning chapter books.
