For parents
What Parents Should Know
These adventures play with familiar fairy-tale roles: Claudette wants to fight monsters, Marie wants to be a princess and diplomat, and Gaston would rather cook and heal. The books value courage, cooperation, and finding more than one way to be heroic.
Expect swords, giants, dragons, monsters, kidnappings, chases, and cartoon fantasy battles. Characters face real danger, but the tone stays energetic and funny rather than gruesome.
