Hear Ye, Here Ye, this is a book for all princess lovers! The Princess and the Three Knights by Karen Kingsbury has everything a girl could want; a beautiful princess, a handsome knight, the king who is trying to pawn his daughter off to the knight who best proves himself, beautiful illustrations, and of course a pink cover with sparkles and glitter! Ahhhh!!! Haha, but really the story was predictable but cute. I really did enjoy the illustrations and I thought the illustrator made the princess look stunningly beautiful. As a lover of princesses myself, I fell in love with this book and would gladly give it to any little girl.

The idea of trying new foods and flavors make it especially relatable, and the appealing illustrations will have many readers ready to hop out on a culinary adventure.
