Fans of James Cameron should pay attention to the book’s first scene, which was amplified from an unused script he wrote for the film.

Step into the exciting, dangerous life of a world-class con man. In Catch Me If You Can (1980), he tells his tale. Frank Abagnale’s story of swindling millions of dollars from unwitting victims while posing as a pilot, lawyer and professor is the stuff of legend. In this new experience, the Princess is accompanied by her friends Snarls and Prince Duce Crablips of the Kingdom of Crablips. Naturally, Petra accepts to attend the School.

A few of the reasons are, the amazing art work, the endless possibilities of activities you can do around this book, The different animals in the book, and the lesson at the end of the book.
