Summary: not worth it
Review: Good idea, bad execution. The projector is all but impossible to see. Even in a completely darkened room the image was hard to pick up. Following along with the book is even harder.

Summary: frustrating and disappointing
Review: Great idea, but the images are so tiny when projected and blurry. The book itself is not worth the money so if the projector isn't so great--its not worth it. The Princess Music Player is much better, the girls are playing with it daily while the projector sits unused.

Summary: Not only for kids!
Review: Images are very small and quality is not very good, however,
my little sister love to play with this book in closet.
Small light can be used for reading, too(but need to let them know it's not good for eye!). This may be perfect for kids' pajama party also.

Summary: Buy it as toy
Review: The summary: buy it as toy -don't expect to get a lot of reading out of it.My child loves this book. She likes the Disney Princesses, and gets a big kick out of operating the projector and making up stories for the pictures. I agree with other reviewers, the light level in the room has to be too low to read in order to view the pictures, which right there defeats the purpose of the set, which is to be able to read the book AND view the projected images at the same time. Maybe an older kid that is not that interested in the pictures would do better with the reading side of it. I still give it a high mark because of the many hours my kid has spent playing with it. She is rough on the projector and the disks and they have taken it well so far.

Summary: mini-projector has problems
Review: This is a frustrating toy in that it has tremendous appeal and a great concept but it does not work terribly well. A large hardback book contains five condensed stories (Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White) and is attached to a special holder for a mini-movie projector and two mini-reels for each story. In the book, colorful illustrations and large-print words are accompanied by margin pictures showing which of 16 projector images complements that portion of the text. This is all done very well; however, the projector is SO mini that it needs to be very close to the wall or screen in order to be seen (2-3 inches) and the image is very small. Also, the room needs to be very dark, which makes it difficult to read the story, even with the projector's second light turned on. The best way to use this would be to have your child sit in a completely dark closet looking at the pictures while you sit outside reading it loudly :-)
This was a great idea but does not work too well, unfortunately. Definitely do not pay full price!
