Magnifique livre! Illustrations enchantresses et riches en couleurs, le texte est clair et simple, et le tout rhyme! Les parents et les sujets du royaume du prince sont très supportifs. C'est une courte et charmante histoire que mes enfants (3 ans) apprécient beaucoup. Ils trouvent les robes des princesses, le prince et le chevalier très jolis. ;)
An adorable picture book about a prince looking for his true love. I was hoping to read it in Storytime, but I don't love the rhyming. Illustrations are adorable though!

The rhyming renders it a bit twee, but the story on the whole is sound. A prince yawns at the princesses, and meets the knight of his dreams while battling a dragon. A nice addition to your pride collection.

I read a lot of books with my children (two girls age 2 and 4) but I don't add any of those books to my GR. But I decided to add this one because it was such a wonderful book that I think more people need to hear about. My two favourite things about this book are the beautiful, fun, and colourful illustrations, and the ending.
It starts out with a prince whose parents are trying to find him a bride, but none of the girls he is introduced to interest him. Then, when the prince hears about the threat of a dragon he races off to save his kingdom. Also appearing is a knight. The two work together to defeat the dragon. Once the two speak together and the knight takes off his helmet, they fall in love. It seems instant because young children want to hear about the dragon, not the romance. I can assume there was more to it than that.

There needs to be more children’s books like this, hell even YA and adult books need to follow this book’s lead.
