Flippin’ adorable, especially with that rhyme scheme.

I love this book so much.
The story follows the same fairy tale style as you’d expect but the prince doesn’t want to choose from his line-up of princess suitors - he wants a suitor of a different kind. I love this because it maintains the fairy tale structure without diverting or changing it and instead it substitutes one character for another with no consequences.
The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. I cannot stress enough how beautiful Lewis’ illustrations are. They are colourful and full of depth and a few of them I even wanted to hang on my wall they were so wonderful.
This is a fabulous story and one I’m glad exists. It has all the classic fairy tale elements like a prince looking to marry, dragons, kingdoms in peril, everything you need but with some more diversity and representation.

This was the cutest little story, and so important! Plus the art is really sweet, even if the rhyming isn't the best.

Loved this! It rhymed and it was heartwarming and more of these please!
I need a 300+ pages romance fantasy novel of this.
There is always demand for fairy tales and the LGBTQ-friendly nature of this one works well. I agree with other reviewers that the rhyme scheme doesn't always flow well.

This is a children’s picture book about a prince and his family’s search for the prince’s future wife. One day, the prince must battle a dragon, but a knight must come to his rescue. It turns out after all, that the prince wasn’t looking for his wife, but needed his knight in shining armour!
When a King and Queen decide it's time for their handsome and sincere son to marry, the three of them set off on a quest to find a suitable bride. the Prince meets a lot of suitable girls but has no interest in any of them; he tells his parents he wants someone special to rule with him. While they are traveling and looking for a bride, word comes that a dragon is attacking their kingdom. The Prince immediately hurries home to defend the realm. Luckily, a Knight in shining armor comes along to help just when the Prince needs it most. After tying up the dragon, the Prince loses his balance and begins to fall...right into the arms of the Knight on his horse. And yes, it is love at first sight. The two men marry and live happily ever after. Haack has written a wonderful take on the usual Prince Charming/Knight in Shining Armor trope and the result is a much needed, delightfully endearing alternative. Lewis's bright, animation-style illustrations will no doubt remind readers of all the Prince/Princess Disney movies they've ever seen and books we've become so accustomed to as the defining image of fairy tales nowadays. This, however, is a lovely magical book. Pair Prince & Knight with King & King by Linda de Haan for some real royal fun.
