5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, with a Great Message, August 17, 2009
This review is from: The Princess and the Three Knights (Hardcover)
A bestselling adult fiction author writing a book for children is nothing new. Neither is a princess story with a modern twist. But it's rare when the resulting picture book is actually worth the space it takes on your child's bookshelf, as Karen Kingsbury's The Princess and the Three Knights is.

The princess in this book is not unlike princesses found in traditional fairy tales. She's the fairest maiden in the land, and every man would love to marry her. But her father, the King, wants to make sure her husband is worthy - that he recognizes and cherishes the beauty within his daughter's heart. So the King stages a competition "to determine which knights possessed great courage and strength, deep loyalty and kindness, and most of all a deep faith in God."

Three knights make it through this tournament to the final, most important test. The King asks them to pretend the princess is riding with them on their horse. They are to then ride as fast and hard as they can toward a cliff. "We will see which of you can take the princess closest to the cliff without going over the edge," the King says.

The first two knights push away their fear and come shockingly close to the edge of the cliff. The third knight remains calm and whispers "I can do everything through God who gives me strength." But when the King asks him to perform the test, he says "Your majesty, I love the princess. She is more precious to me than anything in the kingdom...I wouldn't take her anywhere near that cliff."

"'That,' the king shouted, 'is the right answer!'"

"For the knight was brave and strong, loyal and kind. But most of all, his faith in God had taught him that true love always protects..."

Which ties in perfectly with the Bible verse quoted at the beginning of the book: "Love is patient, love is kind..." (1 Cor. 13:4, 7)

What I Like: Readable and offering a pointed message to young girls about what they should expect of their suitors, there's nothing to dislike in Kingsbury's text, and the illustrations by Gabrielle Grimard are gorgeous. Appropriately fairy tale like and romantic, they are also rich and vivid.

What I Dislike: My only complaint is that Grimard depicts the two knights who don't win the princess's hand as obvious villains. I'd rather see them at least as handsome as the knight who marries the King's daughter, since looks usually don't expose the beauty or ugliness of a person's heart.

Overall Rating: Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fairy tale about love is instant family favorite, September 27, 2009
This review is from: The Princess and the Three Knights (Hardcover)
The Princess and the Three Knights by Karen Kingsbury and Gabrielle Grimard is a beautifully illustrated fairy tale that will quickly become a family favorite. First, here are Mia's feelings about the book: I like it, I like the whole thing. The artwork is wonderful and fantastic. I learned that love always protects. My favorite part in the whole book was the happily ever after, because the princess and her husband looked so happy. I definitely want to keep this book forever! It makes me feel happy, and I love the book! Now my thoughts: Grimard's illustrations are just gorgeous and perfectly capture the fairy tale feel with an extra dose of pink to thrill its feminine readers. Kingsbury writes in the voice of classic fairy tales giving the book a timeless appeal. Her message of love always protecting is an important one to emphasize to little girls, and she does it with Scripture and through example. It's a book that will please both parents and their daughters.

5.0 out of 5 stars The love of a beautiful princess and protective prince, October 14, 2011
This review is from: The Princess and the Three Knights (Hardcover)
This Christian story by Karen Kingsbury shows what it means to be a real man: protective of those we love. The illustrations are bright and fresh. The princess is portrayed as a gorgeous teenager. Some of the images remind me of Trina Schart Hyman's work in The Kitchen Knight, as well as George and the Dragon, but without the shadows and emotional darkness. My youngest son appreciates this story, as does my oldest daughter who is 22 years old. My college professor friend also enjoyed it very much. Karen Kingsbury is an outstanding writer. Our family admires her miracle stories, with my five children enjoying her Miracles for Teens book, as did I. My younger boys and I love her Miracles: A 52-Week Devotional. They want to hear story after story.

Kingsbury has a gift for story-telling to both children and adults. Grimau's illustrations are bright and flowing, with great hair and clothing. This is an excellent story book for children and adults.
