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.

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!

A bit disappointed
Julia Donaldson as the author plus a pink and sparkly book, was bound to be a hit with my 3 and a half year old princess-obsessed daughter - wrong! Read more

An imaginative way to learn colours, and kids live magic!
My daughters 16 months old, so a bit early for her to enjoy but overall I think it's a pretty good book, take the little one on a magical adventure.

For glitter lovers
Ditto what the other great reviews say, although most focus on younger listeners. This was bought as a present for my 7 year old girl's birthday, at her request. Read more

Gorgeous Girly Book
This book is not a rhyming book as is the usual with Julia Donaldson books. It is very much a girls book and is beautiful on the inside with smatterings of glitter on every page. Read more

Very pretty and entretaining book
My daughter is five and loves this book. It has glitter in each page and there is a lot of bright colours on it. She wants to read it every day and I almost know it by heart. Read more

Just right for a little princess
I bought this book for my nearly 3 yr old Grandaugther, who loves anything pink and pretty.
Julia always gets it right for young children.
