The Ordinary Princess

Another read aloud finished ✔️ This book is fantastic. I think the cover is ugly, not ordinary, and the illustrations inside are much better. The story is magnificent and it was really difficult to put down. I think we read in three segments. It was for my Rascal (8), but everyone listened in (13-3) especially my Princess (11). #sonlightstories

It has been so long that I can barely remember the fine details of this story, but I just want you to know that as a child I lived and breathed this story. I remember the beautiful purple cover that I got from a scholastic book fair, the way the pages smelled and the adventure that was kept inside. I remember that I loved this story, the princess, and Phantasmagoria. I know that when my child is old enough I am going to buy her a copy of this so that she can carry it around everywhere with her as I did. It was a magical book then, and a five star read for a little girl with a blossoming love of reading.

I loved this as a kid!

So cute! I have never read a fairy tale quite like this one before! The whole thing was delightful. Disney should pick up some cues from this lovely little story.

I would have loved this in middle school, but I'm definitely too old for it now.
