Wonderful Princess Book even for toddlers

My little girl loves Disney princess and when she saw this at the store and her daddy and I couldn't resist getting it when we saw her little face light up even though its big and has paper pages. She "reads" this book all the time and hasn't ripped any of the pages. She loves it and lets me read to her sometimes and sometimes she just looks at the pictures. Great little book for your princess! She is 19 months old :)

Great Princess stories

I bought this for my two year old grandaughter. This is a very nicely written book. The stories are different and short enough to hold her attention. I would deffinitely buy this book again.

LOVE IT

My two girls (ages 2.5 and 4) and I LOVE this book (the first one too)! They ask to read it ALL the time and I love that the stories are NOT the same as the classic ones - it is nice to read something different and yet still princess.

One Of The Best Princess Books Out There...

The princess franchise can get a little scary sometimes. Hundreds of pink books and allot of them are the same. As a Beauty and the Beast fan, and as an adult with no children, I often pick up Disney Princess books with exceptional art, just for the art. So I can't imagine being a parent trying to sort out which of these Princess Books would be worth buying. Many of them have the same exact stories, or just rehash the movie story line with old stock clip art from the movie. Blah Sometimes though some of these princess books go too far. The princess magazines often have pages of comics that are so displaced from the original movie, so out of character, so wild and crazy....not even a three year old would but into it. One in particular comes to mind where Belle goes to visit her father for Christmas, because you know, she just felt like it, and Beast didn't seem to mind. Later Beast brings everyone in the village Christmas presents. (Uh.....riiighhhht!) This book however has really delightful new stories and art. It features Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast. This is a personal favorite because all the stories are really light hearted and seem like tiny little gems of the casual day to day life of the characters. They are just so well written, and well illustrated Disney books. It's a little oversized and they spared no expense in printing really lush art work that's unique and matches the original films very closely. So the Aladdin art really looks like Aladdin-the film, and the Sleeping Beauty art really looks like Sleeping Beauty-the film. Also....I have to mention that the Beauty and the Beast story is very unique compared to most princess books as it isn't the old "Beast did something bad, and Belle is upset about it" story line. It's just a nice friendship story that's very sweet. Actually all of the stories were very 'fresh' feeling, in character, and not about that one typical thing the characters always do, not the one joke that's always over played. It's ~actual~ new material any Disney fan will enjoy. Overall I thick this book would be great for anyone...adult or child fan alike. For the price you pay, you couldn't hope for better writing, printing, or artwork. Definitely a really really really great find.
