5.0 out of 5 stars Cute book, May 16, 2006

By	Laura A. Luloh (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My daughter, who is [...], loves this book. It comes with 3 punch-out paper dolls. The story takes about 5-10 minutes to read. It's a 3rd grade reading level.

1.0 out of 5 stars Convuluted, October 11, 2008

By	Paper Pen "S. Wilson" (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews

We have a few hundred children's books in our house. This one is probably the most baffling and convuluted among them.

The entire story is only 15 pages, yet in that space we are introduced to 12 different fairy or animal characters, including "an adorable turtle named Tutu" who is introduced once and never mentioned again. We are taken to five different places, such as the Bogs of the Hinterland and the Depths of Despair. And we learn of five different magical items, including the Immunity Berry, Magic Seaweed and the Mirror of the Mist.

It's just too much thrown together in too little space. It's an almost incomprehensible story.

2.0 out of 5 stars cheap but not so interesting..., February 14, 2007

By	N. Gimeno "Mom of two" (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this because my daughter has the doll... the book is okay.
