I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a neat idea but I felt like the execution fell flat. I also thought the illustrations didn't quite match the story. They were cute and colorful enough, but the style didn't seem to fit.

I was thrilled to receive a review copy of the beautifully illustrated and charming Princess Arabella Goes to School by Mylo Freeman. As soon as I saw the gorgeous cover in such stunning hues, I knew this was a must-read. And it truly is. Little Arabella finds herself bored on her first day at Princess School, where classmates are learning to curtsy, walk with grace, and smile when cutting ribbons. Smart child that she is, Arabella would rather be reading or doing math or going home.

To stave off a melt down, her teacher invites the class to bring their favorite pet the next day. One princess brings a butterfly, another her cat, while Arabella brings her elephant, then a second large elephant appears and chaos ensues. The story ends abruptly, leaving readers wanting more. I understand this is part of a series. I’m looking forward to Arabella’s next adventure! 5/5

Thanks to the author, Myrick Marketing & Media, LLC and NetGalley for the review copy, in exchange for my true opinions.

Princess Arabella is not a big fan of school - she seems bored and would much rather do her own thing. She's happier when they let her bring her elephant.

The book felt very bland.

Princess Arabella wants nothing more than to go to school. She excitedly gets up in the morning and packs her bag with all the things she will need. As it turns out, going to Royal School is no fun. They teach the princesses how to curtsey and walk gracefully. Arabella wants to read and play and do arts and crafts. It isn't until the children get to bring their favourite animal to school that Arabella enjoys herself. A cute addition to the Princess Arabella series.

This is an interesting book. Princess Arabella is about to head off for her first day at school. But when she gets there it is not the school she dreamed about. She wants to read books, and do real math, not learn to curtsy and cut ribbons.

Great concept, lovable characters, sweet humour - I just wanted a longer book so I could learn more about Princess Arabella and her family, and I did not love the illustrations.
