Even though I am in 5th grade, I did read this book. It was an book that has a deep meaning but it was written using simple words. There are so many chapter books I'm looking forward to read, like the book I am in the middle of: The Land of Stories, The Enchantress Returns, but sometimes, picture books are so meaningful, so it's still fun to go back and read picture books. I'm saying a lot of stuff, I know. This was like, another version of Cinderella, but they made the morale a little different.

WAe had to compare this book to faithful friend and also had to contrast. This book was about a king that needed a wife. There were two daughters and they were kind of competing to be the kings wife. ONe was nice, and one was mean. There is a very important message, and you have to find out.
This book is a wonderful story. Try reading it. There is a good moral. Can you find the moral of this story?
i have never read it i might tho :)
