The Twelve Dancing Princesses

If you have not seen this version, retold and illustrated by Ruth Sanderson, you are in for a treat! The story is well-written, and the pictures are just gorgeous. These are not Disney Princesses .
I loved looking at the pictures with my dc.


Princesses, Princes, fairy tales, dancing, gardeners, swan boats, castles

My dd (5 yrs) really liked it, and so did my ds (7).
I would say any age from 3-4 on up could enjoy the pictures.
The story is gently written, so I think 5 and up could enjoy it.

For older kids, it could work in a cinderella around the world study or in a study of great illustrators.
