Reviews

'This beautiful ballet theatre is a joy for children. It evokes all the magic of the fairytale world, and the ray of sunshine I felt within me when I danced the part of Princess Aurora.' Irina Boronova, Prima Ballerina

'A shamelessly pink confection in which a girl can listen to a dainty Tchaikovsky CD and direct a ballet against exquisitve scenery and backdrops. A lovely, decorous present.' The Observer

'A well crafted product that will provide many hours of imaginative play.' Families Magazine

'This beautiful box set (it’s an understatement to call it simply a book) folds out to create an entire theatre – complete with changeable backdrops and slot-in figurines – enabling the re-enactment of Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty. The storybook itself comes with a CD of the ballet music, and there are lovely finishing touches, such as a piano score of the famous waltz.' Junior Education

'Featured/recommended in a “Girl-powered gifts” roundup' Playthings magazine
