Another Disney Princess story read aloud to my daughter.
I enjoyed the community and camaraderie in this one.

This chapter book chronicles Tianas attempts to make the perfect gumbo for her Daddy's birthday. It was a sweet story that illustrated the importance of inclusion - everyone has something special they can offer - and perseverance - to not take the easy way it and not to give up after a failed attempt. I really enjoyed this story.

Adorable book about how much Tiana loves to cook, (even gives some hints on how to make gumbo) and how much her dream to own Tiana's Place really meant to her and her father at a young age. I love reading these chapter books that dig deeper into the character's story and background.

Very cute story about Tiana trying to give her father the best birthday surprise ever. There were great new characters that, even with there small parts, were very believable.

Life lessons of perseverance, family and community involvement are portrayed in a manner that captivated my girls.

A cute, heartwarming story. I loved doing this as a read aloud with my little one. The accents were fun to do.

What a cute story. I love how Tiana's faith never wavers. All I know is that this book made me hungry while reading it. Now I'm craving for the beignets and gumbo.

Cute story with good morals—hard work pays off and magic comes from spending time with family and friends.

So super cute!!! I love reading Disney stories that are never actually revealed in the movies, it's like a little surprise!

So cute!! My favorite so far out of the 3 I've read.

I love anything Disney and Tiana has always felt like my kind of princess so this short story was absolutely adorable and a good learning feature to never give up.

Most of the books in this series are pretty boring but this one was actually cute! Most true to the source material and with an actually interesting plot and good message.

Just finished this one with Eleanor and still can't believe we haven't seen Tiana's movie yet. I keep meaning to get it but then it slips my mind. I really love this collection of Disney Princess Beginnings, they're such cute stories and generally still fit in with the movie (with the exception of the Belle book, but that's a whole other story!)

Definitely recommended!
