lupuslibrorum's review against another edition
1.0
(I’m a preschool teacher)
A pretty lazy cash-in. They don’t even attempt a story or anything about baking. The text is basically just “Tiana bakes pies. Belle bakes brownies. Ariel bakes a cake. Yay!” It’s insultingly bad. Even if you’re catering to the earliest readers, you can still give a story experience that’s worth their time. A good kid’s story should also be interesting to adults, no matter how little the kid or old the adult.

This book was a bit of a letdown. I was excited by the idea of a book with multiple princesses in it. But the book is very random because of this and kind of boring.
Instead of incorporating all of the princesses into one story, this book describes the princesses essentially doing the same thing: baking. Each princess has her own mini-story. Interesting idea, but the stories are so short and simple that they are rather dull (Beast is sad so Belle makes brownies, Rapunzel enters a pie contest). None of the stories were very exciting.
Plus, Merida's story didn't really add up. I haven't seen Brave in awhile, but I can't imagine Merida being super in to baking. And I definitely don't see her gladly sharing the cookies she made with her brothers after they refused to help her.
The illustrations were nice. It was interesting to see the princesses in new environments.
This one was just okay.
