Set in Arendelle Queen Elsa and Anna work together while exploring their kingdom.
The story has a nice message about delegating, creating a work life balance.

Cute continuation of the movie. Shows Elsa bonding with her people. Has great vocabulary words for young readers, as well as important themes of helping others and self care.

I’m reading through the first three books in this series as part of the read-aloud program I put together for my five year-old. She’s obsessed with the Frozen princesses and really enjoys these. These books are simple enough and the chapters are just the right length to be able to read about one chapter per day without losing her attention. The writing here is nothing incredible, but it’s entertaining enough for little ones and simple enough for them to understand.
One of the critiques I have is that the binding seems to be terrible on all of these books. I’m not sure if we got a bad batch, or if they’re just cheaply done, but ours keep having entire chapters fall out! They also have metallic accents on the covers which flakes off in little pieces sometimes. The writing itself is ok and the story is engaging; the quality of the physical book, however, is sub-par.

মেঘের সাথে সাথে পড়লাম দীর্ঘদিন ধরে। টুকুর টাকুর ভালই। কিন্তু এই ফ্রোজেন কেন যে এত সেন্সেশনাল তা মাথায় ঢুকে না। যাক স্ট্রং উইমেন ক্যরেক্টার দিয়ে যে গল্প লেখা হচ্ছে, বাচ্চারা পড়ছে -এটা দেখতে পাওা একটা বড় জিনিস। নাহলে আগের রুপকথা দেখলে দেখবো যে স্ট্রং উইল, পারসোনালিটির মেয়রা সব সুয়ো রানী।

So, I have taken it upon myself to read all the books that my daughter is reading. Not just to content check, but to make sure she's reading it for AR lol.
Anyways, I found this story really dry, even for a children's book. Not just that but the book was littered with grammar errors, poor sentences, and very stilted dialogue. I could've written more realistic dialogue from Anna and Elsa, any parent who has seen the movie a gazillion times with their kids could write Anna and Elsa better than this book. I know that I'm being a bit mean, but if you are a big five pub and you're going to agree to take on a Frozen chapter book series you better buck up and do it justice.
I found that it took until over halfway through the book for the story to really kinda be 'fun'. My daughter even struggled through this and fought me on reading it saying , "This is really boring mom, can I just read something else." I told her it gets better, and she seems to agree once Elsa started using her powers. That is another thing. They almost make her powers seem like a bad thing while trying to 'tell their lesson' I thought the whole point of Frozen was a whole "Baby, I was born this way." deal. I'm not sure how Random House got the rights to write this, I honestly believe if this would've stayed in the hands of Disney Hyperion they would've found someone better to take on this series. I made the mistake of buying book two for my daughter. I think we will be going back to the Equestria Girl's books and NeverGirls.
In summary: Disappointing, stilted, poor grammar that shouldn't be allowed in children's books, and a contradictory 'life lesson' makes this children's series a miss for me. I wouldn't recommend it to fans of Frozen.

A wonderful new Frozen story featuring Anna and Elsa. I loved the themes of helping others, sisterly love, and taking time for yourself. Great book that helps teach a balance of doing things for others without overexerting yourself.
The book also features splendid black-and-white illustrations. I liked that the pictures were made specifically for this book, rather than just utilizing the stills of the characters that are featured on much of the Frozen merchandise out there.
I picked this up from the library as a quick, feel-good read and it. I am also reading a book I don't really like so this was a nice book to remind myself why I enjoy reading between chunks of the other not-so-good book, which I'm over halfway done with already and just want to push through it. This was a perfect story to help break up the boring book.
There were a few teeny tiny plots holes that kind of grated on me. At one point Elsa and Oaken design an ice room for his trading post and make plans for Elsa to come to help him build it the next day. Then it is never mentioned again. Did she go? Was the room built? What happened with Oaken? Nothing too major but just a few plot lines that were not followed through.
Still a very good book. I also got the second book in the series from the library and I am excited to read it as well and continue the series. Loving it so far.

Cute continuation of the Frozen story. Elsa is ruling as Queen and Anna is excited to get to know the people of Arendelle. Anna wants to share it all with Elsa, but Elsa finds that ruling the kingdom is very consuming. She badly wants to help her kingdom but there in never enough time or energy to meet with them all. Anna starts to miss her sister again and hopes to work out a plan that will benefit all.
Great read aloud for ages 5 and up. Good to read alone for grades 2 and up.

Lets just get this over with. Yes, I did read a children's book. Yes I am obsessed with Frozen. Yes I liked this book. I thought it was cute, and I liked the artwork within the book. However, I didn't really see a plot ??? Yet it's Frozen so of course I liked it anyway. I gave this book 3/5 stars
