Simple but beautiful, and no licensed characters to be found

This book is simple but beautiful. It tells the lovely story of the day in the life of a princess, surrounded by the nature that cares for her. My 6-year-old daughter was instantly enchanted and decided she even wanted her bedroom to look like scenes from the story. This is the type of princess story I love for her to hear, full of wonder and missing the ubiquitous licensed characters and product tie-ins that normally swarm around our children. Highly recommended for children this age.

Great book for all ages

I bought this book for my 2 year old for Christmas. It has become a favorite. I love the simple, yet fantastical illustrations. The story is a good length for the shortened attention spans of toddlers. I have other books by Olfer, but this one is best suited for younger ones.
