Princess Mirror-Belle and the Dragon Pox

I brought this new book for my daughter who is 4 years old as she has just started school. My daughter was so excited when she saw the book as it was pink and lots of glitter. She started looking at the pages and imagining the story. As you can imagine that she made me read the book during bed time and in the morning soon as she got up. It is about the a little girl that has chicken pox. The little girl Ellen want to scratch her nose and was going to when she heard a voice from the bathroom mirror and this little girl is called princess Mirror-Belle. She comes out of the mirror and she also have spots but they are not chicken pox they are dragon pox. The story goes that she they both are trying to cure the dragon box by adding different things into the bath. My daughter enjoyed the book and we haven't put the book down. There is plenty of pink and glitter on every page that would make may little girl happy. Personally I have seen much better storyline from Julia Donaldson but this book is not for me but my daughter.

Quick delivery. We love Julia Donaldson in our house and it’s a beautiful book but in the story the girl basically trashes the bathroom and her mum is just fine with it. My 4 year old daughter decided it was a good idea to squirt a tube of toothpaste on her sisters head (because they use it as shampoo in the book) needless to say I wasn’t too impressed.

Julie Donaldson never disappoints! Great story for children of all ages

A little long winded and it misses the familiar rhyming pattern and rhythm of JD’s other work. Daughter still loves it though.

Read this to my 7 and 3 year old children. Both thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted it again the next night.

I buy my 3 y/o Daughter and her friends these books by the same authors and she loves them all. Colourful, glittery and she likes the ‘feel’ of the images as we read the books. She will be reading them for the next couple of years I’d say.

Bought as part of a selection of books for my young niece who loves the Princess Mirror-Belle books. She enjoys the story and the glitter pages in this series of books are particularly appealing to little ones. The book arrived very quickly and was well packaged. A good buy.

Bought all of the Julia Donaldson and Lydia monks books for my daughter (aged 3) as bedtime books. This one is my least favourite. It’s also the one she chooses to have read to her the least. The story didn’t rhyme, which made it less interesting, and I was waiting for a better ending or something more to happen.We absolutely love Julia Donaldson books in our house but this one just didn’t do it for us.
