4.0 out of 5 stars AWW just right for my little princess., December 1, 2004

This book is so cute. I bought it for my 4 year old for xmas. The pieces aren't as sturdy as I was hoping but they aren't going to break easy too. Each puzzle has a story to read along with it. She loves puzzles, books, and the disney princess stories so this is a great way to combine those things. But as a recommendation for other parents keep a box handy for those kids who don't always want to put away the toys. (like mine) just so the pieces don't get lost.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pieces do not stay in the book, August 7, 2005

This review is from: Disney Princess: Pretty Puzzles (and Sweet Stories) (Princesses) (Hardcover)

We bought this book for our 3 year old daughter for a flight as a "convenient" way to carry a bunch of puzzles in one book. She liked the book well enough, but there is one major problem: the puzzles that are embedded in the pages of the book don't stay in the book. As a result, if you finish one puzzle and turn the page to go to the next puzzle, it is pretty likely that the just-completed puzzle from the previous page will spill all over the place. This flaw makes the book completely useless almost immediately (at least in its book form). The only real remedy is to put the puzzle pieces in containers once you are done, which basically defeats the point of the book format.

The puzzles are nice and pretty, but be prepared for frustration when the completed puzzles don't stay in the book.

I bought this puzzle book a few years back when my daughter was only two. She needed some help then, but now that she's six she can do each puzzle by herself. This is one toy that we both will enjoy for years to come ~ it will make a nice keepsake. As for all the pieces not staying in the book after a puzzle is done....my daughter closes the book and pushes down on the cover for a few minutes and all the pieces from the puzzle that was just finished stay in place...this is a very delightful story book featuring Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine and the last one features all the them together and with an added bonus of a puzzle on each page. What an excellent concept and it will be a great gift for any Disney princess lover!
