I've read two others of Mesu's and I loved one of them, and the other was a bit more torture-scened then I prefer, but it was still excellently written, talent-wise! :)<br /><br />Haha yep! :DRaechelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845190071944799602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469039199145284278.post-4585897069491755012016-02-22T18:50:03.584-08:002016-02-22T18:50:03.584-08:00Yes!!!

It might be the shorter version I read, as it was in this "The Usborne Princess Treasury" put together by Susanna Davidson and Katie Daynes, but it was so good! It had a good moral of the story and was sweet. I had sat down to read "Miriam" by Mesu Andrews (which is good so far!), and saw this book that my sister got and when I saw the word 'dragon', I of course had to turn to the story, and then I ended up reading it and the next fairy tale. ^.^Raechelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845190071944799602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469039199145284278.post-41859434803420257912016-02-20T09:26:42.427-08:002016-02-20T09:26:42.427-08:00It was! ^_^ I'm often surprised at how much I ...It was! ^_^ I'm often surprised at how much I enjoy Barbie movies! :DShantelle Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671416965777525382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469039199145284278.post-56821037705099901472016-02-19T19:15:08.190-08:002016-02-19T19:15:08.190-08:00I've seen the Barbie version as well.

It was something I was not expecting, and it was just like "okaaay..."<br />Love the Barbie movie, and not ashamed. Haven't watched it in awhile, but it's so sweet. But there should be more adaptions of this story. As long as they make some of the characters with more heart, of course. :-D<br />Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10509128604995424173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469039199145284278.post-37879431591680052422016-02-19T14:49:30.388-08:002016-02-19T14:49:30.388-08:00I love the 12 Dancing Princesses story!
