The Princess in Black: Three Smashing Adventures: Books 1-3 (Box Set of Early Chapter Books About Funny Hero Adventures)

My daughter is a huge fan of this whole series. These books are really cute, imaginative, and entertaining. Highly recommend as beginner chapter books with wonderful illustrations. I love that they are hand drawn.

I have been reading this series to my pre-k class (4&5 year olds) and they have been loving it! One girl even told me she wanted to be The Princess in Black for Halloween. That is high praise from a four year old.

I got this set to read to a 2 and 4 year old and they are hooked and have asked for them every day this week. We immediately ordered the second set. Cute stories with colorful illustrations on every page are fantastic for the littler crowd, there is enough repetition that they can chime in occasionally but I'm not bored, they get the perfect amount of frilly pink princess content balanced with strong independent empowered princess content, and the sentences are short and simple enough that when the 4 year old is ready to practice reading in the next year or two these should be great to work her way up to. This should be an add to cart no brainer for any kids 2-7 once they can sit still and listen to a few chapters or are ready to practice reading chapter books themselves.

My daughter absolutely loves these books

my 3rd grader who is struggling with reading LOVES these books! They are funny and keep her interest the whole way through

We give this as birthday gifts! We always hear good things about the kids loving the stories.

Great early reader chapter book for my daughter. She seems to like the story and has reread them several times

My 7 year old loves this series!!!

I highly recommend The Princess in Black books! I have read these books aloud to 3- to 5-year-olds, and they absolutely love them. The stories follow Princess Magnolia, alter ego The Princess in Black, whose kingdom borders Monster Land. The monsters are cute, silly, and not scary at all, making the books perfectly innocent and funny for this age group. The children find the battle moves like "sparkle slam" and "princess pounce" extremely hilarious! An unexpected bonus is that her princess friends have flower names like Honeysuckle, Snapdragon, and Orchid, which opens up a great avenue to learn about real flowers. The short chapters are perfect for early independent readers. I have gifted this set many times to 5- and 6-year-olds who read independently, and they feel so empowered saying, "I can read real chapter books!" Boys love it too because the main boy character is Duff the goat boy, whose alter ego is the Goat Avenger! There is so much action and fun here for everyone. Truly a delightful series

Excellent

5 year old daughter really enjoys these - good level for sharing the reading with her as she moves to more independent reading

My daughter is obsessed with the Princess in Black. Great for her age. She is 6 and can easily read every word in these books.

My 4 and 7 year old boys love Princess in Black stories at bedtime. We have read them several times. Mr 7 does not like to read books to himself but happily reads several chapters at a time to the family dog. He is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next book in the set so we can keep following the princess and her friends.
