Princess Justina Albertina, A spoiled and demanding princess sends her nanny off to get her a pet. The indefatigable nanny bravely treks all over the world, bringing back a variety of creatures, each of which the princess rejects. The puffer fish doesn´t pay enough attention to her; the unicorn from the enchanted forest doesn´t listen; the toucan from the Amazon isn´t clever enough; the flying kangaroo is boring, and so it goes, until the nanny says she thinks the princess has enough pets. But the ensuing ruckus sends the nanny off in a hot air balloon to the ends of the earth to find a gryphon. The delighted princess says, ´´He´s perfect.´´ The gryphon swallows her, burps, and flies away. For this is ´´a cautionary tale,´´ after all. Chesworth uses watercolors with colored pencils and gouache lightheartedly, telling the visual tale mostly in action vignettes with occasional full-page scenes to add comic touches. The princess´s appearance, fat and ugly, matches her disposition; the nanny is thin but resolute to the end. The other ´´pets´´ are charming, while the gryphon fills a full page with regal, even threatening posture, as all but the unaware princess cower in a corner. PDF, 14.04.2011.
