What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that A Royal Christmas is a well-done book and activity app that heavily promotes the Disney Princess brand. As kids are reading or listening to the story, they are also looking for ornaments to hang on a Christmas tree in an ornament hunt game that runs throughout the app. This encourages kids to pay close attention to the original princess stories here, featuring Disney's Cinderella, Tiana, and Ariel. There are also coloring pages and puzzles, as well as the opportunity to record your own voice reading the stories.

Is It Any Good?
The stories on A ROYAL CHRISTMAS app are fresh and sweet, and in typical Disney style the app is well-designed and beautiful to look at. It's fun for princess fans to see how their favorite princess celebrates Christmas. The games are simple and the ornament game, for which players collect ornaments to "hang" on a tree on the app, provides an organizing, attention-keeping thread through the stories.
