Smile, Principessa!

Mama and Papa call their little Principessa bambina Bina, and Papa takes her picture every day. "Smile, Bina!" he says.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Thousands of pictures!

Then bambino Pasquale -- Bino -- is born, and everything changes. Papa doesn't take pictures of Bina anymore; now he only seems to care about making Bino smile! Pooey!

How Principessa gets her smile back is the heart of this charming story that is perfect for little ones and their new siblings.
