At first glance this child's book is so obviously targeted to young girls that love princesses and horses -- and fuzzy stickers! -- that it is easy to miss its more subtle features.Girls can imagine the princesses having a wonderful life after their "happily-ever-after" movies end, as the story shows Belle, Cinderella and Snow White tending to their beloved horses and having fun with them. Belle fills Phillipe's stable with flowers, feeds him carrots and rides with him deep into the forest. Cinderella spends lots of time with Frou in the stable, has the Fairy Godmother turn his horseshoes into glass and competes with him in horse shows. Snow White feeds Astor apples, rides him into the forest to find Prince Charming's missing hat and puts a flower in his bridle.Looking a little deeper, however, you notice that each horse is drawn in the style from their particular movie. Cinderella's Frou is the most cartoonish, with big eyes and a smiling mouth. Snow White's Astor is the most realistic, with delicate lines and little caricature. Belle's Philippe has Frou's big eyes, but his mouth is more realistic.Also, the princesses' riding styles are true to their characters. While Cinderella and Snow White ride side-saddle in dresses, Belle wears pants and rides astride. Sure, she's wearing lovely gold riding pants, but still! A nice touch: when Cinderella competes in the horse show, her mouse friends cheer her on from the side grasses, while the prince, the king and the major domo do the same from the stands.Philippe's fur is fuzzy to the touch on the cover, as are the nine stickers inside.
we got this book for our princess loving horse back rider and she loves it. The sticker aren't fuzzy like the description says but that wasn't a big deal to us. also the sticker don't go in the book again that was fine with us. its a cute story about being kind to your horse.
Super cute book for my horse obsessed little. It's all about how each girl cares for her horse & her favorite thing to do with her horse. It's also simple enough i think it will transition well into a first reader when she gets older
So adorable! I bought this book (along with a breyer model horse) for my friend's 4 year old's birthday ... and she loves it! She is crazy about princesses and horses. And, this book combines them both!
I got this for my granddaughter when she came for a visit. She is six and has a love of horses. Nice pictures, great story that we could read together. Well worth the purchase.
Loved the product. This was just what I was looking for. It was of good quality for the price. Thanks
The perfect book for a horse lover. I bought this for my niece who is in obsessed with horses. There is nothing better than horses and princesses. Very cute story and very cute pictures.
A wonderful birthday gift for an adorable little 4 year old celebrating her birthday with a pony party! Combined with the My First Sticky Mosaics Ponies pack - the perfect pair!
