Back to Grown-ups

The Little Princess books by bestselling author/ illustrator Tony Ross deal with common preschooler issues like going to bed, getting a new sibling and washing your hands. The first book - I Want My Potty- is still one of the most popular, thanks to its positive message and funny delivery.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Amusingly enough, the only regular characters that have actual names are Little Princess's pets, the dog Scruff and the cat Puss. The title character is called either "Princess" or "the Princess" on the show itself. There's also the King, the Queen, the Chef, the Prime Minister, the Admiral, the gardener and the general. Some of the minor characters, such as Polly and Chalky the rabbit, also have names.
