Meanwhile plans for the ballet academy seem to go smoothly. Or so the princesses and their ballerina friends hope.This children's illustrated story is written from a first person point of view and is similar to a princess diary type book. If your child enjoys stories from authors like Kate DiCamillo, Cynthia Rylant, Mem Fox, Lily Lexington or Gary Paulson then your child will love this beautiful, full-color, Princess adventure and mystery series. In the princesses' adventure they are also introduced to the world of ballet. The end of the book is dedicated to a classic ballet stories. This one retells the famous Spanish classic that was turned into a ballet, Don Quixote. Each full-color storybook tells of the princesses' daily adventure living in the castle with their ballerina friends. The series features artwork from the art masters whose works have entered the public domain and are no longer restricted by copyright. Who is this historical children's series for? I wrote this children's historical mystery series set in England primarily for girls age 7-12 but although it is a princess type story with mystery, action and adventure, I feel even a boy could enjoy the series. (Bear in mind these are princess stories for girls, essentially, especially for those who love ballet.) It being a full-color illustrated ebook and paperback I hope to expose young readers to artwork from master artists of the world. My hope is that the princess series will be a children's illustrated classic someday.
