As part of our partnership with Parragon books we were sent copy of Glitterbelle: The Sparkliest Princess Ever! Glitterbelle is a sparkly princess, who is starring in their enchanting new range of glittery, sparkly, creative books with stories, activities and more! Glitterbelle is a modern-day princess who is smart, funny and very enthusiastic! She loves her parents (the King and the Queen), adores her pet dog Bob, enjoys racing around on her scooter and can be found climbing trees with her best friends Dazzlina and Angel. Like all princesses, Glitterbelle has pretty dresses covered in sequins, but she prefers wearing leggings and her glittery trainers!
Glitterbelle: The Sparkliest Princess Ever!
When Glitterbelle tries to be a proper fairy tale princess, it doesn’t quite work out. Thankfully her friends Dazzlina and Angel are on hand to help her realise that she’s the best kind of princess after all – the sparkle-tastic, Glitterbelle kind!
We read this at bedtime and it’s a lovely book. We were particularly impressed with the illustrations. Glitterbelle’s world is brought to life through stunning, elaborate, miniature sets, each skillfully created by the talented illustrator, Harriet Muncaster. It all starts with a sketch. Muncaster then adds her sketches to handmade 3D scenes, using card, fabric, tiny gems, LOTS of glitter and whatever else she can find to build up Glitterbelle’s world – all by hand. From miniature bathrooms to tiny garden settings, all with an essential touch of glitter, the Glitterbelle artwork concept is a fresh new approach. Scenes in the Glitterbelle series are photographs of the delicately and intricately made sets.
The new Glitterbelle series launches with four books including Glitterbelle: The Sparkliest Princess Ever!, a colourful picture book, Glitterbelle: Me and You, a fill-in journal with a special Glitterbelle touch, Glitterbelle: Doodle, Dazzle, Create!, a fun and creative activity book and Glitterbelle: Dazzling Dress-Up, a dress-up sticker activity book for the aspiring fashionista. We love the latest Princess on the block and we can’t wait to read more of her fun adventures.
