Welcome to an enchanted land ruled by unicorn princesses! Cressida Jenkins, a unicorn-obsessed girl who is sure that unicorns are real, is invited to visit, and readers will be thrilled to journey to the Rainbow Realm along with her! In each story, Cressida is called to help a unicorn princess and her sisters in a magical adventure.
In Prism's Paint , Ernest the blundering wizard-lizard casts a spell that accidentally alters Princess Prism's power--instead of being able to turn objects different colors, she now makes them clear! The only way to reverse the spell is to find the missing rainbow of the Valley of Light, and the unicorn princesses know who can help Cressida! But will Cressida be able to find the rainbow and restore Prism's powers?
This sweet series is full of sparkle, fun, and friendship.

The intended audience, my 5 y/o daughter, loved this and hung on every word. She references the story in great detail outside of story time.
The incidental audience, me, found this to be the most boring Unicorn Princess book to date. Cressida uses the same skills to resolve the Unicorn Princesses' issue as she did in Sunbeam's Shine. We also learn that Cressida, in addition to being a master conflict mediator, good sport about competitions, and cheerfully unflappable is also a passionate artist. Puh-leeze.
Cressida is a textbook Mary Sue. My daughter is loving imagining herself in Cressida's light up unicorn shoes. I am thoroughly annoyed that Cressida is flawless, never learning new skills or growing as a person.
I loved how this book teaches kids that everyone argues sometimes, but it’s important to talk it out instead of just staying angry with each other. These books truly do teach important life skills, are extremely entertaining, and inspire kids to do a variety of activities (this book inspired my 4 year old to start painting more things). I highly recommend this book series to anyone with little kids.
I read this to my 3 year old daughter and she seemed to enjoy it. There weren't any scary parts, so I would recommend it for any kids who can read on their own!
