This is a fascinating book. It is full of adventures, but not too much adventures that you are ready to fall off your chair. I gave this book a 4 because the story was a great one. I especially like the part when Sugar turned Priscilla, the toad, into a beautiful princess. I think it was funny to think that the Rat King would marry a toad. But, he didn't really know that the beautiful princess is actually a told. One thing I don't really understand is that why the Rat King doesn't like dances. I think this is because int the "Nutcracker" the Rat King got destroyed or something. I wonder what other people think.

Another adorable edition of Magic Ballerina, this time involving a forced marriage- oh, no! The Rat King makes another appearance, this time having captured all of Enchantia in a snow globe... of some kind.
Hey, it's cute and it's an adorable story. I can't say anything bad.
A sweet story for young children to listen to or who are learning to read (and their parents don't want them to even look the Rainbow Magic books by Daisy Meadows) and who enjoy dancing books and fantasy.
Read Aloud. My daughter (4.5yr) really enjoyed it. These are more interesting than the rainbow magic dairy books, but harder to get in our library system. Inter-library loan required.
