Books Included in This Collection:
Princess Mirror-Belle and the Dragon Pox
In this playful tale, Ellen discovers that Princess Mirror-Belle leaps from the bathroom mirror into a world where bath-time wonders come alive. Bubble fish swim in the tub, elves sleep in slippers, and brave knights tackle dragons in the most unexpected places.

Sugarlump and the Unicorn
Sugarlump the rocking horse longs to see the world, and a silver-horned unicorn grants his wish—turning him into a real horse. The journey to far-off adventures teaches about curiosity, values, and the meaning of home. The tale balances enchantment with a gentle reminder that true happiness often comes from appreciating what you already have and the friends who share your path.

The Princess and the Wizard
A playful, fast-paced escapade follows Princess Eliza as she repeatedly changes form—blue fish, yellow chick, red fox, black cat—only to be pulled back into a perilous task set by a wicked wizard. It’s a story about clever problem-solving, resilience, and the magic that happens when quick thinking outsmarts danger, all wrapped in Donaldson’s signature rhyming rhythm.

What the Ladybird Heard Next
On the farm, Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len hatch another plan to steal a prize. But this time, the farm’s quiet residents, led by a brave ladybird, outwit the would-be criminals with teamwork and wit.
