The most popular Disney Princesses star in this wonderful collection of love and friendship stories. With many new stories, beautifully gilded pages, and over 250 illustrations, little girls will delight in this new edition of a beloved favorite. Plus, it comes with 200 stickers!
Customer Review: Good Princess Book
I bought this book for my princess-crazed daughter. She has three other Princess Storybook Collections and they are all very good. The only bad thing is that this one has some of the same stories that are in the other three, but there are some new ones as well. It also has at least one story that came from a (single) book that we own called "The Mixed Up Morning" with Snow White. Also be aware that this princess collection book (like the others) has some stories from the movie sequels like Cinderella II and The Little Mermaid II; so the story line itself isn't really new... It's very entertaining for both of us because we both love Disney princesses. If you don't have the other princess collections, this is a great place to start. And if you already own any of the others, just be prepared to re-read some of the same stories. The bottom line is: Yes I would recommend this book to any true Disney princess fan!
Customer Review: Beautiful! Wonderful addition to our library... esp if you read the original over & over like we do!
Love this book. My 3.5 y.o. daughter has really come to love the Disney Princesses. After the 50th time reading, seeing and hearing Cinderella in our house, these are a welcome addition to our collection. New stories with the characters that we know well. Some original stories, most adapted from "new adventure" stories of the various Disney princesses. 19 stories in all. Each story takes about 10 minutes to read to my daughter. Book is 1" thick and is rather heavy, at almost 3lbs. Silver leaf edges makes for a beautiful gift. Photos in the table of contents make it easy for children to pick their story. Stories are written well and flow off the tongue easily. Also, I like that they're not overly cheesy (like this one: Beauties in Bloom (Pictureback(R))), moralistic stories. They're fluff, but they're decent fluff. Includes 200 stickers in the back of the book (most rather tiny). If you don't want your child defacing their book by putting stickers in it, I'd suggest cutting them out with an X-acto knife before giving the book to a child. The only negative I have about this book is I think the publisher could have made the sticker pages a tearout. Clean, easy-to read print. Good font and font size. Words and pictures don't overlap. Nice, colorful images represent the characters we've come to know and love. (Ever notice how some "Disney" stuff has character drawings that only vaguely look like the character from the movie? Well, these are done well.) I recently purchased this at Ross Dress 4 Less for 5.99 but would pay the $10.87 that Amazon is charging today (on the day of posting).
