My three year old loves this book. We don't actually read the entire story because he attention span isn't there. But we do talk about the pictures and every night I will read a different part of the princess she picks

I CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE THIS TO ME LITTLE PRINCESS!! Going to be a Christmas gift for our disney trip in May. My hubby found a cute princess pen to go with it so she can use it for her autograph book. But even until our trip it is a nice book to look at and read. She's going to love it, it's a very informative, pretty book.

I gave this book to a little girl's grandmother to give her from Santa's Friend on Christmas. It is very colorful and has a lot of things toinspire a little girl in the second grade. Her grandmother was excited to give it. I would have liked it at that age.

My 4 year old daughter loves this book! We had to buy her this copy because she kept checking it out of the library each time we went. She brings this book everywhere she goes and loves showing it to her grandparents and friends.On a parental note ~ the pictures are great and it's fun that each Disney Princess gets their own special pages. It's full of fun facts about each one.

I bought this book for my daughter because she always checked the book out from her school library. She loved it. It has most of the princesses in it, and it gives a lot of details about each one. It is very well illustrated. I was worried at first because this was not the original book, and I was concerned that a lot of content would be cut out. It was just as good as the original, and my daughter was very happy with it.

Ariel. Aurora. Belle. Jasmine. Snow White. Cinderella. Say any one of these names and many little girls will sigh over any one of their stories. Princess tales are the stories of dreams come true.(Note: This book is currently unavailable. Perhaps that is a good thing--to prevent cruel stories of a prince coming to rescue us. As if that is going to happen when in reality that prince often turns out to be the ogre in disguise. Never mind. Back to the lovely little book.)The fabulous DK publisher has set up "Princess: The Essential Guide" as a scrapbook, or memory book, of these lovely girls, who each have completely individual identities. Please follow this description of one princess to learn the type of book this is.Belle. My personal favorite. The only princess with brown hair. (Normally, as a redhead, I choose the redheads. However, I do not like the idea that a mermaid envies life on land and wants to discard her essence to fit in.)On the other hand, Belle, out of deep love for her father, is willing to sacrifice her happiness to live in the castle with a beast. The first two pages about Belle outline the basic story and describe Belle's character and interests. The next two describe and provide illustrations of Belle's world. The map of the village and outlying areas are the most striking section. This is true of each of the princess maps. Then the last two pages outline how Belle learns to love the Beast. Ah, if only this principle were true in real life. Think of how many less than beautiful men and women would have the opportunity to love and be loved.This is a beautiful book. Since it is no longer available, you will not be forced to consider adding this book to your daughter's library and continue presenting such impossible dreams. What? You think I'm a cynic? Yes, I am, but I well remember what a friend recently told me. "My daughter's just a little girl. If she wants to believe in dreams, let her. Reality will come soon enough." Well said.

I took my grandchildren to Disney World. Everyone was asking where she got her book. They only had a blank autograph book for there children. She loved it. it was an amazing book.

My girls really like to use this when they have their "dress-up" days. Every princess needs the Princess Guide so they caan tell you how it is to be a princess!!
