Gallery: Books and Short Stories (5)
The next three books are the three Ariel books of the Scholastic princess series, where the various princesses learn lessons about manners and behaviour.
It's a Rule! - A Story About Obedience (2003)
Ariel learns the hard way that rules usually exist for good reasons. Which is
kinda a hilarious topic for an Ariel-focused story, because this is Ariel we're
talking about.
The Sea Symphony - A Story About Forgiveness (2003)
Ariel gets caught up in a misunderstanding thanks to Alana, whom Ariel believes
has deliberately done her wrong.
Watch Out, Ariel! - A Story About Paying Attention (2003)
Ariel is more lost in her daydreams than usual, which leads her into becoming
quite the scatter-brain.
Where's Flounder? (2004)
Ariel goes searching for Flounder in this board book with flaps and a pop-up at the end. The last page
is a pop-up toy of Flounder, so no scan for that one!
Treasures of Old (2005)
This book is volume 7 of the "Storytime Treasures Library", which is a bunch of original storybook tie-ins
with various films of the animated canon. This TLM-related book has a story about how the neighbouring kingdom's
ruler King Mariner's visits Atlantica, and how Ariel mistakenly assumes that it'll all be very boring for her. WRONG!
Dreams Under the Sea (2005)
Lovely art in this story which can be considered a sort-of missing scene from the
film. Flounder has given Ariel the Eric statue, which prompts Ariel to daydream about marrying Eric one
day, complete with fancy dress-up. This story has been included in various princess collections including
"Happily Ever After Stories", and as Volume 8 of the "Storybook Library" boxed set. I'm including scans
of both versions here.
