Fun, adventurous, and playful. The pictures are colorful, charming, beautiful and on every page. Very luscious and cutesy. A quick read-aloud too.

The Princess in Black / Princess Magnolia is also a great for teaching our daughters that they do not have to be limited to one way - they can be both feminine and kind but also fearless and brave. My daughter currently wants to be Superman when she grows up (I think it's the flying), so a super-hero-esque heroine is perfect.

This was my favorite book in the series. It was hilarious and lots of fun. Probably great conversations for "what is beauty?" and all that, but really, we just enjoyed the laughs.

Highly recommended. Pick it up and have some fun!
