Love this book. My 3.5 y.o. daughter has really come to love the Disney Princesses. After the 50th time reading, seeing and hearing Cinderella in our house, these are a welcome addition to our collection. New stories with the characters that we know well. Some original stories, most adapted from "new adventure" stories of the various Disney princesses.

19 stories in all. Each story takes about 10 minutes to read to my daughter. Book is 1" thick and is rather heavy, at almost 3lbs. Silver leaf edges makes for a beautiful gift. Photos in the table of contents make it easy for children to pick their story.

Stories are written well and flow off the tongue easily. Also, I like that they're not overly cheesy (like this one: Beauties in Bloom (Pictureback(R))), moralistic stories. They're fluff, but they're decent fluff.

Includes 200 stickers in the back of the book (most rather tiny). If you don't want your child defacing their book by putting stickers in it, I'd suggest cutting them out with an X-acto knife before giving the book to a child. The only negative I have about this book is I think the publisher could have made the sticker pages a tearout.

Clean, easy-to read print. Good font and font size. Words and pictures don't overlap. Nice, colorful images represent the characters we've come to know and love. (Ever notice how some "Disney" stuff has character drawings that only vaguely look like the character from the movie? Well, these are done well.)

I recently purchased this at Ross Dress 4 Less for 5.99 but would pay the $10.87 that Amazon is charging today (on the day of posting).

I bought this book for my princess-crazed daughter. She has three other Princess Storybook Collections and they are all very good.

The only bad thing is that this one has some of the same stories that are in the other three, but there are some new ones as well. It also has at least one story that came from a (single) book that we own called "The Mixed Up Morning" with Snow White.

Also be aware that this princess collection book (like the others) has some stories from the movie sequels like Cinderella II and The Little Mermaid II; so the story line itself isn't really new...

It's very entertaining for both of us because we both love Disney princesses. If you don't have the other princess collections, this is a great place to start. And if you already own any of the others, just be prepared to re-read some of the same stories. The bottom line is: Yes I would recommend this book to any true Disney princess fan!

I ordered the book as gift. The moment i saw, i fall in live with the book myself.

Very neat and colorful. Love it.

The majority of the stories in this book lack the Disney magic. The stories are poorly written and lack the charm we've come to know and love from Disney. I was disappointed and surprised and do not recommend this book.

If you have a daughter who loves to read then this is the book for her. Its got great stories that my daughter loves and made me read for almost a year after i got it for her for her birthday, Its a hardcover and very sturdy....all in all i would buy again!

I have a 2 and a half year old and she LOVES books and princesses, of course.. it came in today and I can't wait to start reading it to her. It's so beautiful and it seems very sturdy. The illustrations are beautiful and the stickers are a plus. Great book for a great price! I'm so glad I ordered it!

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas, and I can't wait for her to get it! It's a nice, sturdy book that should last till she has kids. Beautiful pictures, large print, nice product.

I love this book. My 6 year old likes to read this book at night before bed. Currently my daughter has 3 other books in the Disney Storybook Collection. The book offers great colorful pictures that keeps a child's attention. You know how hard that can be when your reading a book that can have alot of text. The pages are very nice and it has gold edges that make it great for anyones story book collection. This will be a book she will have for a long time. This is not a good book for a beginner but it is a good bedtime story to read to your child. Unless they are a bit older and enjoy the Disney stories.

Wonderful collection! The table of contents has small pictures so it makes it easy to choose. We love this and the other collection books, too!

This book is wonderfull...excellent quality and nice stories...My children love it as much as the rest of the collection!
