"Light! Camera! Barbie! Barbie is thrilled to be in her very first movie. Acting is hard work, but Barbie loves learning from her costars and director ..."
The Starring Barbie series follows Barbie as she takes on different film roles. To begin with - I hate the format - at the start of each book, Barbie addresses the audience and it irritated me. But it's not just that - this whole series is too simplistic even for a picture book. It's all tell with little show and it makes for a very stilted read. A Dream Come True is probably the worst of the series. Super Spy is probably the best - I enjoyed the drawings of Barbie in her hover boots. Picture books are hard to rate when you're not the target audience and I can be forgiving with the rating, but frankly there's better Barbie series out there. I would give it 1 star, but I can't even see kids giving it more than 2.
