From Julia Donaldson, the bestselling author of The Gruffalo, comes Christmas with Princess Mirror-Belle, the exciting adventures of a princess with a difference.
Ellen gets a big shock when her reflection climbs out of a mirror. But Mirror-Belle is a double with a difference! She is a princess, and a very mischievous one at that. Join Mirror-Belle as she sweeps Ellen into hilarious Christmassy escapades – from joining in with the Christmas ballet show to attending Ellen's friend's fancy-dress party and trying to catch Father Christmas! You can always guarantee that wherever Mirror-Belle goes, trouble will follow.
Christmas with Princess Mirror-Belle features two festive stories from Julia Donaldson, as well as some festive things to make and do. With a cover illustration by What the Ladybird Heard illustrator Lydia Monks and read by actress Sophie Thompson, it's perfect for fans who are beginning to listen on their own.
