I think this story is easy to understand, I choose this book to write my book report because I think this book is very touching. My favourite character is Prince Philip because he is a brave ambitious and aggressive man. I admire him very much. He knew that the palace was very dangerous and he wasn’t afraid to rescue the princess. If I could talk to one character in the story , I would talk to the Princess because I have never seen a princess and I also want to see her .I would try to know her and make friends with her. I like the ending of this story because the prince and princess got married and it is a happy ending. I will recommend this book to other students because I think this book is very interesting!
