Princess Smartypants 顽皮公主不出嫁 (wán pí gōng zhǔ bú chū jià)is a high-spirited tale full of humor & unexpected turns, a story that does not fit the Disney princess mold.
Let your child cheer for the independent, resourceful heroine! Princess Smartypants did not want to get married; she wanted to live with her pets in her castle and do exactly as she was pleased. Commanded by her parents to find herself a husband, the Princess set tasks for her crowd of suitors: Stop the giant slugs from eating her garden; cross-country ride on her motorbike; take her mother the Queen shopping…None of the princes could accomplish the task. They all left. Then Prince Swashbuckle turned up. . . . He accomplished all the impossible tasks! So princess smartypants gave him a magic kiss, and he turned into a gigantic toad! The toad left in a hurry! Now, none of the other princes wanted to marry Smartypants…So she lived happily ever after!

"Read to me":
