About this deal

Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments Carrying a Cake: The chef carries desserts sometimes. Sometimes something goes wrong and sometimes not. Title Theme Tune: The opening theme would like you to know that she's a Little Princess, and those are the only words in the entire song. Also counts as Expository Theme Tune.

Merchandise-Driven: As with all book-based properties, the western animation series was originally created to sell the books. But then the market became flooded with various other merchandises after the show came out. Limited Wardrobe: Everyone wears the same outfits all the time, the Princess even has multiple copies of the same outfit. I Want My Dummy" ends with the Princess giving up her dummy of her own accord, but everyone else is sad that they made each other give their hobbies up.

LoveReading4Kids Says

Mistaken for Own Murderer: In "Can I Keep It?", Taddy grows into a frog and the next morning, Princess thinks that "a horrible animal has eaten Taddy and it's still in the bowl!".

The Diaper Change: The Queen changes the Princess's cousin's diaper in "I Want a Best Friend", although we don't see it happen. He also gets a diaper change in "I Want to Be a Baby". Real After All: In "I Want My Light On", the adults insist that ghosts don't exist, but at the end, two ghosts are seen at the top of the castle.Comedic Underwear Exposure: In "I Want to Go to the Fair", the Queen falls over and her bloomers are visible. Surreal Theme Tune: The Theme Tune would like you to know that she's a Little Princess and nothing else. And it veers straight into Disney Acid Sequence territory after trying to stay sane for the first five seconds. Quite appropriate given the setting and characters though... Artistic Licence – Biology: In "Can I Keep It?", Taddy the tadpole turns into a frog in a few minutes, whereas in real life, it takes a few days at least. Implied in "I Don't Like Thunderstorms"; the King and Gardener are doing movements similar to this while waiting outside the bathroom but it's unknown if they're doing it because they have to pee. At the end of "I Want to Play in the Rain", everybody plays in the rain, including Puss, who usually plays Cats Hate Water straight.

The Maid screams in "I Don't Want to Go to Bed", when she wakes up and finds the Princess not in her bed, due to thinking that the monster the Princess mentioned earlier had taken her. Insomnia Episode: A variation in "I Don't Want to Go to Bed". At first the Princess is simply not sleepy, then she wants to sleep but cannot due to first thinking a monster is in her room, then being lonely, then being kept awake with the maid's snoring. She also does one upon learning the maid is taking Gilbert to the laundry room in "What's Wrong With Gilbert?". Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: The episode titles are usually in first person POV. For example, "I Want My Potty". The show seems to favor this a bit less the longer it goes on. The first episode to break format is the eighteenth, "What's Wrong with Gilbert?" This is followed with "Maid's Day Off?" as the twenty-second episode and "Can I Keep It?" as the twenty-third. Implied in "I Don't Like Thunderstorms". The Queen is waiting impatiently outside the bathroom, but it is unexplained if she needs to use the toilet or if she just wants to wash or something. The King and Gardener are also waiting outside doing Potty Dance-type movements, although it's never actually confirmed if they need to go.

I would recommend this story to read to any child around potty training age, as it eases them into the concept of not using a nappy. From an adults perspective,one might argue that the fact that she wets on the floor is not sending a good message, and maybe there should have been more reference in the story to the idea that it was an accident and it does not matter. Having said this, I think that children would not analyse this in depth, and simply would enjoy the story. There are many amusing aspects to it, such as the tantrum that the princess has, and the look of panic in the bright and colourful illustrations of all the adults in the story who are rushing around in a frenzy trying the locate the potty! Barbie Doll Anatomy: In one of the animated skits not part of the TV series, the Princess falls from a tree and her skirt blows up and she's not wearing underwear, but her vulva is not seen. In "I Want to Be a Detective", Scruff eats some biscuits the Princess made and she thinks Puss did it. I Don't Want Nits" ends with Puss and several of the adults scratching themselves. It's unclear whether the humans caught the Princess's lice and Puss caught Scruff's fleas, or if they're imagining an itch due to their already-established fear of the insects. At the end, it's rendered moot, since they get shampooed anyway.
