Product Information

Ross was born on 10 August 1938 in London. His parents are Eric Turle Lee Ross and Effie Ross (née Griffiths). He attended Helsby Grammar School and studied at the Liverpool School of Art and Design. [2] Career [ edit ] Annoyingly Repetitive Child: In “I Want a Bedtime Story!”, the Princess annoys the adult residents of the castle (except the King, who’s away) by demanding more and more bedtime stories.

Real After All: In "I Want My Light On", the adults insist that ghosts don't exist, but at the end, two ghosts are seen at the top of the castle. Spoiled Brat: Princess herself, although much more in the books than in the show. Here's a girl who demands that her potty be brought to her instead of her going to the potty (which she doesn't know the location of, but still she doesn't actively search for it). Additionally, when she makes a request, the castle's inhabitants would try to do their best to please her. And if she doesn't get her way, she throws a tantrum. Everyone Has Standards: In “I Want My Dummy!”, the Admiral and General may be grown men who play with toys, but even they think it’s weird to still use a dummy (pacifier) at age four. So does the Prime Minister, even though he’s an old man who still rides a tricycle. the illustrations are bright and fun. They also make it easier to imagine what is happening on the camping trip I Want My Mommy!: One of the books is titled "I Want My Mum!" (U.S. "I Want My Mom!") The plot is described as follows: "All day there had been disasters - the water pot went all over the latest painting; the Little Princess fell off the seesaw and banged her knee; and worst of all, there was a monster under the bed that night. The castle had been ringing with the constant shout of 'I Want My Mum!'. And Mum always knew exactly the right thing to sort out the problem..."

Back to Grown-ups

Potty Dance: Downplayed in “I Want My Dinner!”, where the Princess is shown with legs crossed, but not really “dancing”, when she’s asking for her potty. Lost Food Grievance: A monster in “I Want My Dinner!” yells, “Hey, that’s my dinner!”, then throws a tantrum and yells the title of the book, after the Princess steals its dinner.

Single Tear: In “I Want a Party!”, the Princess cries one tear when she realises she forgot to send her party invitations. Friendship Denial: In “I Want a Friend!”, the group of outcast kids complain about having no friends… but all the while, they’re happily socialising with one another. From the first episode to the most recent, the series has been produced completely in the UK using the talented animation industry available to us. Self-Deprecation: In “I Want a Bedtime Story!”, the Prime Minister tells a story about his big nose, that stars him as an anthropomorphic elephant. Not related to Alice Soft's Little Princess, and in fact targets a completely different audience. Not to be mistaken with A Little Princess, The Little Prince or LilPri. Not to be confused with Little Miss Princess, even if both are British.Here We Go Again!: Defied at the end of “I Want a Bedtime Story!”. The Princess has finally found a story she likes, but now wants the Maid to read all the other books as well… but the Maid isn’t having it and switches the lights off. Out-of-Character Moment: In “I Want My Tooth!”, the Princess turns down sugar for it being bad for your teeth, despite being fine eating it in other books. Later on in the story the little princess goes to school, whereby she realises that wining isn’t so easy anymore. She tries her hardest to win one of the four big trophies in her school cabinet, but unfortunately despite her efforts she’s not successful. Nevertheless what the little princes didn’t realise is that there were actually five trophies, and the last one was actually for her. The little princes won a trophy, fairly for her effort. Right for the Wrong Reasons: In “I Want to Do it by Myself!”, the Princess is correct that she’s being forgetful. However, she thinks that she’s forgotten that she brought her things camping, when actually she forgot to bring them and other people brought them for her. True to the spirit of Tony Ross’s original picture books, the positive message delivered with each story is wrapped up with humour and surprise.
