The Real, True Dulcie Campbell
A little girl discovers her true identity Dulcie Campbell knows she's a princess. The woman with old bunny slippers can't be her real mother. The man with scratchy whiskers isn't her real father. The boy who teases her isn't her real brother. And the dog who sniffs her isn't hers, either. Dulcie sets out to live the life she was born for. Take a warm jacket calls the woman. Don't forget your book calls the man. I thought you said you were leaving shouts the boy. The dog drools. Off to the barn (the royal palace) goes Dulcie, where she perches on a bale of hay (her throne) to wait for things to right themselves. Then she opens her book of fairy tales and learns that the life of a princess isn't all that she's dreamed - and that the one she's been living may not be so bad after all. Wry, funny, and utterly charming, Cynthia DeFelice's story is pictured to perfection by R. W. Alley.

Warm, funny, sweet story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book had our 4-6 year old children laughing out loud - and we as parents enjoyed it too. As adoptive parents, we were a little concerned at the beginning as to the path the book would take as Dulcie sets out to find her "real family", but we were very pleased with the story and the way in which Dulcie comes to truly appreciate the family that she has. Very funny, both in word and picture, and very sweet.
