The Singing Princess turns dreadful singing and dancing into a gloriously silly celebration of being yourself. Judy Waite keeps the story light and funny, while gently reminding young readers that nobody has to be perfect to find friendship... or even true love.

What is The Singing Princess about?

Princess Melody loves to sing, but her voice is so dreadful that her servants wear earplugs to endure it. Life in the palace is quiet and dull until she meets Prince Dance-a-Lot, whose dancing is equally terrible. Together, they discover their shortcomings and, embracing their imperfections, decide to marry, promising each other never to sing or dance again.
