The princess and the wizard- livrinho da semana

I'm yet to read a book by Julia Donaldson that I don't love. 

She is the author of our favourite book #Gruffalo.

 With clever characters outsmarting the baddies, as well as being fun to read aloud to my two daughters, every time I pick up a new one I'm impressed all over again.

The Princess and the Wizard by Julia Donaldson Is about a young girl called Princess Eliza. At her birthday party a wicked wizard interrupts turning all her guests to stone and capturing the princess.

The Princess’s fairy godmother appears explaining that she has ‘seven times to escape by changing her colour and changing her shape’. The princess attempts to escape by changing into a fish, a chick, a grasshopper, fox, butterfly, cat and bird. 

Princess Eliza finally realises that the Wizard is one step ahead and knows exactly what she is doing. 

The book uses simple language and is repetitive and engaging. The reader feels as if they are on a journey with Eliza to escape from the castle. There is also the use of rhyme. 

In addition this book is beautifully illustrated, Bright and colourful on every page which further explains the story with the use of glitter as a great sensory tool.

Great to teach kids about, animals, numbers,colours, days of the week etc.
