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.
When Princess Moon invites Cressida to the annual Starlight Ball in the Night Forest, she can't wait to dress up in her gown and dance the night away. But Ernest the blundering wizard-lizard casts a spell that vanishes the entire ballroom, and the only other available space is filthy--it hasn't been used in years. Will Cressida be able to find a way to decorate the old ballroom? One thing is certain, all the unicorn princesses will need to use their magic together!
This magical series is full of sparkle, fun, and friendship.
Read this installment of Julian's favourite series to him yesterday since he was sick and not up to reading on his own. For what it is, it was perfectly acceptable. Could have used less adjectives about gems and etc to have to read out but it's par for the course. And it had a nice message about trying new things and not worrying about what others think of you in a pretty low-key way. If you have a young one interested in unicorns, this series nicely fits the bill.
Slightly higher literary value than the Rainbow Fairies, but not by much. The unicorn princesses have a conflict about what kind of music they want at their ball. They resolve the conflict in approx 3 paragraphs. The rest is magic with no rhyme or reason (becoming a huge pet peeve)... oh, there is a problem, and a magic wand suddenly appears out of nowhere that has the specific magical properties to solve the dilemma?!? This is just not how the world works, even for the 5 year old I read this to.
