Too Much Sparkle
About this ebook
What happens when a princess with a glitter obsession gets hold of Royal Glue? The whole palace is about to find out.
Princess Beryl loves to shine. Stars on everything, gems on everything, purple glitter dust on the toast. But when the Royal Glue dries and the palace doors won't budge, the windows won't slide, and the King himself is frozen solid on his throne in a crust of diamond... Beryl has to put down her sequin wand and find a chisel. Watch to find out how far she has to go to get her boring, dusty, normal castle back.
What makes this story worth it:
A princess who takes things spectacularly too far — and earns every scrub of the cleanup
A King encrusted on his throne, unable to move his arms or bend his knees
Trevor the dog, submerged beneath a water pump to remove his sequin coat
Rhyming couplets that build toward a satisfying, muddy, muscle-burning resolution
A warm ending that doesn't need any sparkle at all
A read aloud from a collection of original illustrated rhyming stories by Nathan Nelson. Perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or anyone who has ever used too much glitter.
