Disney Princess: Ariel: The Birthday Surprise (Disney Princess Chapter Book: Series #1) Paperback – January 5, 2010

I loved that she turned into what she should of a fairy princess. This was a good continuation. her surprise birthday, but they always called Ariel Atal( as a nickname) almost like she was still really down with them in the ocean. They must have done something else with her. Like even confused her about it. It was a good story keep me going.

My daughter is 7 and I read her this story every night and she love it. She love the mermaid story

I bought several of these books for my daughter, who is 5. The recommended age range is from 4 - 8 years but these books are not meant for children at the younger end of the age range, especially those just learning to read. There are very few pictures and it definitely did not hold my daughter's interest, even though she loves Ariel and the other Disney princesses. I would say these books are more appropriate for kids aged 7 or 8 and up, depending on their reading ability. I had planned to read a few pages each night to teach her how to follow along with a longer story, but forget that. Kids that age want a story that can be read from start to finish at one time. Still, good books for slightly older children.

As a tribute, it was a good book. I previously read a book about Belle, but I enjoyed this book more. I read this book three times, and each time I felt different about it. The first time was when I was eight, and obviously loved it. The second time was when I was nine, and it wasn't as good. I just finished reading it at the difficult, weird, and challenging tween age of eleven. But somehow I felt like it was a book that not just little children should read, but people my age should also read it just to look back on the things they used to love . Such as the Little Mermaid. I think this way because even right now I feel like I could watch the Little Mermaid, and all because of this book. I would like to recommend this book to one of my best friends, because she told me that the movie the Little Mermaid was stupid and is only for little kids. I would now like to say that I have looked back at my past of the movies I loved, and I have asked my mom which movie was my favourite, and of course she told me the Little Mermaid. Thank you for sending out this amazing, unforgettable, oozing with how do I say this, SIGNIFICANCE!!! story. You have helped me look at my past at a different point of view. Thanks, Alexis

I purchased this chapter book about two and a half years ago when my daughter was just 5 years old. Since then, both my husband and I have read the story to her several times. Now that she's in Second Grade, she is able to read for herself--thank goodness--and has done so on at least two occasions. LOL The story is very sweet, and there are some lovely illustrations throughout the book. I have to admit that when I first read the story (I've had to read it several times! LOL) I enjoyed it almost as much as my daughter did.In this story, Ariel, now married to Prince Eric, resumes her mermaid form and travels to Atlantica for her sister, Adella's, birthday celebration. While there, Adella wishes that Ariel could stay, coincidentally during a solar eclipse. When her wish is granted, Ariel must find a way to break the spell so she can return to her beloved Eric. The is a great story for any little one who enjoys princess stories. My daughter loves it and highly recommends it.

not yet finished the book. cannot review. But my niese love princesses much. It is funy, we two enjoy the book so much

It was just enough. We dud a chapter a day and she loved the story. Also loved the development of characters with the sisters.

I bought this for an almost four year old as a way to introduce her to chapter books. We read a chapter or two a night and with her favorite characters it is a hit! I bought 4 others for her and I'm glad to have her into reading these types of books! I'm going to introduce new chapter books and characters when we finish these 5

I really enjoyed reading the book it was. It was fun with pictures and exciting too. Recomend it to all my friends

My grand-daughter loved the book.

Good value for money, however postage was more expensive than the book!

I like this book a lot. :)

Grandaughter was delighted to receive this book and could not wait to sit down and read it.
