The illustrations used in this book was phenomenal. The plot was not as great, but not as bad.

Waarschijnlijk denk je nu: waarom lees je Barbie? Mijn antwoordt hierop is: geen idee. Het is 1 uur in de nacht en ik heb niks te doen (ik ben niet moe).

Dit gaf me flashbacks van vroeger. De film van dit boek keek ik altijd met mijn zusjes. Ik kan me nog goed herinneren dat er noedelneus in de film werd gezegd en dat we thuis elkaar noedelneus noemden.

Ondanks dat het mijn favoriete film was, vond ik het boek minder daarom van mij 1 ster. Het pakte me niet zo goed, misschien kan dat ook komen omdat ik toen 8 was toen ik dit leuk vond.

I give it one star because negative numbers are not an option. On the up side, it makes the Barbie Pet book seem okay.

My daughter picked this book from the library. First, I think the ratings on these books are off. She's going in 2nd grade and could read it okay, but the book is rated for Preschool to First grade - I do not think a preschooler could master this book... one main reason is that a large part of the story are the characters odd names. And there were some complex words on top of it.

I thought the story was pretty lame. I guess if you are a shy princess that would rather read than dance, you just need to find a secret door, use your magic wand to defeat evil, you will be rewarded with a beautiful gown and will want to dance, just like your mother wanted you too.

Less offensive and irritating than I've come to expect from Barbie books. Mini-Me was a little sad that Barbie wasn't in the story as herself, but for me that was part of the appeal. ;) I also particularly liked the female archers that appeared in the background in places. They weren't main characters, they were just there - a nice subtle addition to the "we girls can do anything" message.

I feel like we never really get to know any of the supporting characters. For example, when Nola the fairy's magic is stolen, it's difficult to comprehend the tragedy of the situation, as this is the first mention we have had of Nola, and we never see her again.

I think this was adapted from a movie, but it did not translate well. The story is halting, but the pictures are fun to look at.

Probably my little one's favorite just because she is obsessed with unicorns..
