The princess is in the mirror is really irritating (for me): she is cheeky, arrogant and misbehaving. I understand that she is the naughty side of Ellen, but I didn't enjoy her mischiefs.

I mean.. it’s cute and funny seeing it from a child’s point of view. I told my youngest about it and he laughed when he heard all of Mirror-Belle’s weird ideas. As an adult being more critical it’s not as good, but I’m not the target audience.

Čítali sme so Zojou počas niekoľkých čakaní u pani doktorky. Jej sa páčila ružová (a trblietky!) na obálke, a takisto, že Zrkadlenka je bytosť neskrotiteľná.
Za mňa rozporuplné pocity: medzi celkovou úpravou a obsahom bolo celkom veľa konfliktov. Nedokázala som určiť, či je táto kniha určená ešte-stále-princeznám ako Zoja vo veku 5-7 (čo naznačoval vizuál a vlastne aj naivita textu), alebo už aj vyššie. V deji sa totiž objavovali prvky, ktoré by sa hodili prváčkam, no vzápätí ich striedali večerné diskotéky (na čo teda prváčky nevidím).
Našťastie sa k nám nasťahovala Dorka Magorka, takže sme v sérii nepokračovali.

Ellen has a big surprise when she looks in the mirror, and sees a mysterious girl , it can't be her reflection cause reflections can't talk back to you! The girl said her name is MIRROR BELLE
and thatshe is a princess from a far away land, soon after Mirror Belle and Ellen are friends, but Mirror Belle is really naughty and she leads Ellen into lots of trouble and exciting adventures!
What will happen next ?how will Ellen save herself from trouble!

HOPE YOU ENJOEY MY REVIEW ♡

I lobed the stories of princess Mirror Belle. It was funny and entertaining. Mirror Belle is always coming up with something cheeky and causes trouble for Ellen and disappears, but her story telling is perfect indeeed. I really laughed while reading this book to my 3 year old 🙂. Highly recommended for child readers.

Vymyslené príbehy o tom, ako by to dopadlo, keby ožil náš tieň, milé knižky s detskými trablami, ktoré sa dobre čítajú i počúvajú. Vhodné aj na dobrú noc, neposobia rušivo, ale rozvíjajú fantáziu na príjemné snívanie :-)

Loved this as a child!

[Cassandra]

I used to have a copy of this! It was heaps of fun, not sure why I've gotten rid of it.

What a great read, too bad we live in the Netherlands else we would read this to our kids and grandkids! 😂

[Emma]

A childhood favourite that I had to read again.

[Lindsey]

The Princess Mirror-Belle books are great. Also really good are the books on CD; the woman reading them, Sophie Thompson, does a fabulous job.
