Overall Book Review:

Originally published in 1990, The Twelve Dancing Princesses by Ruth Sanderson was re-released this month with a new cover and design.  A picture book targeted at older readers, this book’s artwork makes it irresistable.  (Testament to this fact is that a certain teenage boy and his father were caught reading it.)  Lovers of fairy tales will adore this book and it would be perfect for that reluctant young reader that balks at chapter books.  The pictures are postively luminescent and compliment the story’s style.  Sanderson’s radiant The Twelve Dancing Princesses is a splendid book to introduce a lesser known fairy-tale.

About the Reviewer

An accountant and CPA by profession, I found myself a book reviewer for Squeaky Clean Reads by happenstance. When the opportunity came to transform that website into Compass Book Ratings, I was excited to seize it and meld my business background with my love of books. As the mother of three teenage sons, I have read a large number of children and young adult books and I believe that there is great value in a content review service. As much as we would love to read everything our children read, there just isn’t enough time. I also appreciate being able to select books for myself that are really worth my precious and limited reading time. I believe there is a book out there for everyone–they just have to find it!
