Title:
Princess Mirror-Belle and Snow White World Book Day 2017
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
Overview:
Step into a giggle-filled fairy-tale moment from two beloved children's creators. Princess Mirror-Belle and Snow White World Book Day 2017 is BRAND NEW and available in paperback, with Lydia Monks’s striking black-and-white illustrations bringing the page to life. The story follows Ellen, who is startled when a mirror-born double appears from her bathroom mirror. Mirror-Belle is a double with a difference—a princess with a cheeky streak who isn’t afraid to mix things up. When she pops out to help with the local pantomime, she keeps bending the rules and adding her own sparkle, turning familiar fairy-tale moments into a witty, off-script adventure. Written for World Book Day’s short reads program, this engaging tale is perfect for children just learning to read on their own or for parents and teachers seeking a quick, joyful reading experience that still feels substantial. The compact length is ideal for busy evenings, car journeys, or a snug reading corner, while Donaldson’s playful storytelling and Monks’s crisp illustrations make every page a delight. A wonderful gift for fans of the bestselling picture-book team and a bright stepping-stone into independent reading, this World Book Day edition is a delightful keepsake for growing readers.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Monochrome artistry paired with Donaldson’s brisk storytelling gives this title a distinctive, collectible feel. Lydia Monks’s black-and-white illustrations provide a crisp, modern look that stands out on the shelf and invites closer examination by young readers. The premise—Ellen’s mirror double breaking into the real world and meddling in a pantomime—delivers quick, visual humor and clever wordplay without overwhelming new readers. The short length respects a child’s attention span while delivering a satisfying story arc and a clear sense of character. Because it’s a World Book Day short read, the edition has a celebratory feel; it’s ideal for gifting, classroom reading corners, or as a special winter or birthday treasure. The collaboration between Donaldson, a master of rhyme and rhythm, and Monks, known for bold, characterful illustration, creates a reading experience that’s both comforting and exciting—perfect for early readers who crave warmth, wit, and a hint of mischief.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
Young readers aged roughly 5–7 who are starting to read on their own will enjoy the brisk, forgiving text and the playful illustrations. Fans of Julia Donaldson’s witty storytelling and Lydia Monks’s distinctive art will recognize the signature humor and energy they love. It’s an excellent gift for World Book Day, a classroom or school library addition, or a family read-aloud that transitions to independent reading. Suitable for parents and caregivers seeking a short, engaging story to boost confidence, this book makes a fine bedtime or travel read. Teachers will appreciate its brief length for guided reading sessions, while collectors enjoy the World Book Day edition as a keepsake.
