I instantly fell in love with this book when I first read it and have since donated to the school library and given it as gifts. Fabulous story where it pays to care about others and make right choices.

This book is fabulous through and through. I love the creative, quirky illustrations and the imaginative storyline, but what really sets this book apart is the beautiful message: that the right prince for a princess is the one who shows kindness and consideration for others. A great message for girls among the princess-fantasy filled world of books.

I was given this book as a child, I don't remember how old I was...I just remember this turned into my favorite book. I still have it on my shelf today (I'm 33 with no children yet) and occassionally pick it up to read it.

Such a great story to remind us all about respect for others and that looks aren't everything when you have kindness in your heart.

I highly reccommend reading this even if you are an adult. Enjoy!!

This was, without question, my favorite book from childhood. I lost track of it and have been searching for a replacement for over 10 years now. I haven't had much success. All I'd found were some tattered old copies that were extremely overpriced. When I saw the deal Amazon was offering I couldn't believe it. I bought it immediately and it arrived in mint condition. It took me right back to my younger days and now I'm sharing it with my 8 year old son, who loves it, too. What a fantastic purchase I made with this one. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend this fun and unique story to anyone and everyone! You can't go wrong with this one. :o)

This is one book I couldn't wait to share with my daughter. The story is timeless and the pictures and prose keep a child's interest. I hope my daughter will share this book with her children someday.

I would have given this five stars if they hadn't changed a small part of the story. This book was a favourite of my husband's when he was a child. We bought it for our child so we could save his copy from the wear and tear of our toddler. The part of the book that has changed is that they no longer say that the one character is "smoking his pipe" but rather "with a pipe". How PC do we have to get? Was that change really necessary? The book is, of course, still good as is the sentiment. I just thought the change was ridiculous and unnecessarily PC. "The Little Match Girl" is still being published and that kid dies! Hello?

I had this book when I was a little girl and it's always been my favorite kids book! I'm in the process of getting one to read to my kids also. Seeing the cover on here takes me back 20 years and that's very cool :)

My four year old is not old enough to read this one by himself, but what a great lesson! It has humor that he understands and a moral (a giving heart is more important than stuff) that makes me happy to read it again and again.

This book has fun pictures, full of colorful textures, of imaginative creatures and places. The story is well told of three princes seeking the hand of a sought after princess. The ending is uplifting and teaches each of us to think with our hearts first. I loved it.

This is my favorite children's story!!! It is the only children's book I kept after my own children grew up. I recently purchased a copy for a local school.
