Product Description

Product Description
"The princess may try seven times to escape. By changing her colour and changing her shape." But, each time Princess Camellia changes - into a blue fish, a yellow chick, a red fox or a black cat - the wicked wizard finds her and sets her another horrible task. Will this plucky princess be able to outwit him and escape back to the palace in time to cut her birthday cake?

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely sparkly girly book to read aloud!, 19 Jul 2007
By Mrs. L. Matthews (staffs, england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We borrowed this from the library and ended up buying it. My daughter (aged 3/4) adores it and the story is enjoyable for the parent to read too. There are beautiful glittery illustrations on each page which my daughter kept reaching out to touch. Completely magical book!

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as the rest, 7 Oct 2007
What nonsense from the previous reviewer (IMHO) - repetition is how young children learn.
The book neatly manages to cover colours, days of the week and animals as part of the overall wizard/princess story. My son is almost 2 and loved it. I thought it was a bit longer than the other Donaldson books, but he still sat through the whole thing quite happily.
I think everyone has their own personal Donaldson favourites (Room on the broom!), but this is still very good - 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED IT!, 9 Dec 2007
By Lana White (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
My daughter is two and a half and loves princesses. I am grateful for books like this that offer an alternative to the Disney princesses. The story is wonderful and keeps your attention at every page. I absolutely love that it incorporates teaching days of the week and colors. It is beautifully illustrated full of glitter and fun for both of us to read!

This book is cute for children to read! They will have a fun time reading how the princess changes herself so many times so that the Wizard will not recognize her. Read more
