The grand opening of the Barefoot Books boutique!
With its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking 59th Street, the Barefoot Books boutique in the world's most famous toy store is a far cry from the small booth in a faraway aisle of the children's-only section where founders Nancy Traversy and Tessa Strickland made their first U.S. appearance at what was then ABA. Even then, however, they draped the tables in jewel-colored batik fabrics and lined up books alongside puzzles and gift cards that featured their illustrators' work.

The Real Princess: A Mathemagical Tale
Author: Brenda Williams
Illustrator: Sophie Fatus
Ages: 3-6 years
I knew I was going to like this book because I have a Math degree. :-) But I loved it even more as my daughter was following along adding and subtracting with the action of the story. This is a new version of The Princess and the Pea.
From the jacket: "Far away, in a tall, turreted castle, live a king and queen with 3 sons, 4 horses, 6 dogs and many servants (45 altogether). The time has come for the eldest prince to find a wife, but only a *real* princess will do -- and how can he be sure she is real? Fortunately, his mother has a secret magical solution..."
Hardcover $16.99
