I like this book because there's a princess in it and the king is funny because he teaches her how to be a knight. The illustrations look realistic. Violetta practices the things that he brothers can do better until she can do it better. I like that she surprises her Dad by saving the day and marrying the gardener. You should read this book because it's a fun book!
