How to Read the Unicorn Princesses Books
Read the ten books in publisher order, from Sunbeam's Shine through The Wing Spell. Each princess has her own problem, so the stories are approachable on their own, but starting at book 1 explains how Cressida reaches the Rainbow Realm and meets the royal sisters.

For parents
What Parents Should Know
The fantasy tension is mild and quickly resolved. Mischievous creatures, lost magical objects, and spells can put the princesses or their realm in danger, but friendship, persistence, and cooperation matter more than fighting. Black-and-white illustrations and short chapters make this a friendly step into fantasy chapter books.
