Bookroo's summary

When the King is away, the Little Princess struggles to find a bedtime story as enchanting as her father's. Despite the palace's best efforts, nothing compares. Then, a clever maid suggests a magical solution: the palace library. Can the Little Princess discover the joy of reading and find her own stories to dream by?

From the publisher

Every bedtime the King tells the Little Princess a story before she falls asleep. When he’s away on royal business, everyone tries to make up a bedtime story for the Little Princess, but no one is as good as her dad. Finally the palace maid has an idea . . . Little Princess can discover stories to read to herself at bedtime, in the palace library!
