Arabella however is not impressed by the newest arrival to the palace. A brother with a rather large royal name or Avery for short. Sophia who will be five easily sympathize as she has a younger brother, Prince Clayton who turned three this month. The story shares what younger brothers do. They interrupt your play, move things, destroy things and at times royally frustrate you.
As it happens, Arabella was granted a magical pencil that allows her to draw anything only in a mad dash of frustration she erases Avery.
I loved watching Sophia’s reactions and admittedly she panicked a wee bit, but thankfully the author didn’t drag things out and Arabella being quiet clever and sweet came up with the perfect solution. Everything ended on a happy note with lessons learned and allowed for a lovely discussion about annoying siblings, friends and the reasons why we still love them!
The author was kind enough to send Princess Sophia paper dolls and coloring pages for the book, but folks can also download them for free from the publishers website: https://ekbooks.org/product/arabella-and-the-magic-pencil/ We had such fun coloring and playing with these.
