Princess ABC

by Lisa Perrett (Illustrator), Lisa Parett (Illustrator)

Once a princess learns her ABCs, she’s taken her first steps to reading. Encouraged by appealing pictures that will bring her back again and again, she’ll soon be letter-perfect. A is for armor that brave knights will wear, B for the braids that she wears in her hair. C stands for castles, where princesses play. D brings fire-breathing dragons a young prince must slay. All the way to Z it goes, for zzzzzzzzz : shhh, the princess is tucked all snug in her bed.

An ABC board book that shimmers and shines and uses objects around the castle and relating to the life of a princess to introduce letters A through Z. Digital illustrations are spot on and perfectly capture the appeal.

A few picky things that bothered me were the way the letters were formatted on the page and the size of the letters. For an alphabet book I wanted the letters to stand out a bit more (I realize there do appear in sparkly text, but I was looking for a bigger difference in font size). Also sometimes it was difficult to follow the letters in alphabetical order with the way they were positioned around illustrations etc.

Overall, a cute alphabet board book with big appeal for many little girls.

Because, you know, there just isn't enough sparkling princessness out there. It's a meh cutesy board book that doesn't overdo the pink and glitter, but kinda pounds the idea that princess=cute and sweet. I suppose at least it's a multicultural sparkling princess book.

Nice sparkly pictures, but didn't like the placement of words on some pages. Difficult for a child to learn what letter comes next in the alphabet.

Love the sparkling glittery pictures! Makes the ABC's feel like new.
