The Princess and the Pickup Truck by Bil Lepp

I had to read this one.  The title caught my eye, it's a parody tale that compares to the Princess and the Pea but this story has more comedy in it.  I love it, it's cute and it's much more interesting...

The author and West Virginia Book Company sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you).  It has been published, so you can grab a copy now.

He's a prince looking for a mountain princess to marry.  He bought himself a pickup truck so they would notice him.  And he searches everywhere for his mate.  He thinks all the ladies who tell them she's a princess probably aren't.  They don't appeal to him either.  So he goes home and tells his mom he was unsuccessful.

One night someone knocked on the door and he opens to find three princesses standing there.  He's ecstatic until he realizes it's Halloween...

The next princess to show up doesn't look like one.  She doesn't really act like one either.  But his mom has an idea on how to test her.  What an idea it is!

This was a lot of fun to read and I enjoyed the tale.  Your young ones should, too, and there are parts that make you laugh as well.  Read it, you'll enjoy it.
