Review:

A young girl named Clara had lost her mother. On Christmas eve she received a special gift, an egg shaped box, from her mother via her father. Her mother was the queen of the four realms. A mysterious gold thread leads Clara into the magical world of the four realms. In the center of it all is a beautiful ballerina who tells the story of the four realms. The realms are Land of Flowers, Land of Snowflakes, Land of Sweets and the Land of Amusements. Her mother wanted her to runite the four realms and she must do this with a magic key. But first she must find it. Will Clara be able to finish this task for her mother?

This cool pop-up book shares the beauty of all the realms. In the center is a lovely ballerina. Young readers will enjoy flipping through the book and learning about each of the realms. Perfect for beginners and little ones just learning about books and how to turn the pages. Parents and caregivers will find this handy guide sturdy and great for a short story read-a-loud.
