When I was a younger Disney-raised child my favorite film was "The Little Mermaid" since I could just relate to Ariel even though I wasn't quite a teen yet. As a result I was normally fascinated by almost anything that was film-based while as a result I came across a few books that were from the Little Mermaid's Treasure Chest. Unfortunately I never got a chance to find all the books but the few I have read I have truly enjoyed.
In a quick summary the Little Mermaid's Treasure Chest is a series in which the reader is taken into the world of Atlantica when Ariel was quite younger (just like the Disney cartoon series) and given some stories that focus on her younger days. As a result the reader is given a chance to meet older characters that they have already fallen in love with as well as newer characters that outside the series you really never see again. At the same time each book is focused on giving a moral-based tale for young readers to help them learn a very important point.
As such the writing is short and easy-to-understand while the reader will have no problems in relating to the events that are told. And to keep the younger audiences in mind the story is normally brief, easy to relate to in general life and provides the lesson straightforward so the reader knows what the moral is.
This book was one that I hadn't read from the series previously but its title caught my eye since there can be so many ways this story may turn out. Unfortunately this wasn't one of the the better stories in the series while it has less of a plot than many readers would enjoy. And the lesson is a bit more roundabout.
Like the other books in the series, though, the illustrations are bright and capture the world of Atlantica and its environs just right while giving the reader with something to actually enjoy in spite of the weak story.
All in all this is one series that as a whole would be fun to re-see its release, especially since there are so many Disney Princess-based products out-and-about.

Ariel finds herself in quite the predicament when she acts like a queen. She gets all her friends to play along as servants. She sees the trouble she's causing, and decides it's not what she wants to be doing, and apologized. Happy ending.

My mom recently re-gave me the Little Mermaid Treasure Chest book collection she had been saving in the attic. I remember loving this book series as a kid. This one didn't hold up as well as some of the others. However, it does have a good message about not bossing people (or fish) around.

Ariel is slightly out of character here. The Ariel we know and love is caring and compassionate, especially towards her friends. She would never boss them around the way she did in this book.
