The fairytale kingdom of Arendelle (artistically modeled on mid-19th-century Norway) is preparing for its first winter ball since the events of the movie. Everyone is happy with teenage Queen Elsa’s now-under-control magic ice power, and Elsa and her slightly younger, non-magical sister, Princess Anna, are best friends.
Elsa is busy preparing to make this winter ball the best ever, with her magic ice powers. Anna has to remind Elsa that the best gift of all is a true friend, with whom to play together as equals.
For today’s young children, the best thing about this board book may be that it comes with a “Mobile App! For iPhone & iPad”. A parent can help install it. This may be a child’s first mobile app of his or her own.
