Editorial Reviews

Review

"Silly bedtime fun." -- Kirkus Reviews

"This book is a RIOT. ...a laugh-out loud story of a prince who sets out to rescue a princess - who doesn't need rescuing, THANK YOU VERY MUCH... Big, expressive eyes, little nuances like the story's characters showing up as toys in Jamie's room, and wink/nudge moments throughout the storytelling make this artwork and story a great marriage." -- Mom Read It

"When Jamie and his Dad create a bedtime story, a predictable fairy tale soon transforms into an energetic, hilarious story of bears and princes jostling with broccoli-wielding frogs, evil-eyed ninja witches and jewel thief princesses. An action-packed adventure that will inspire parents and children to embark on their very own storytelling journeys together." -- Big Books for Little Hands

My 6 year old nephew requested this book as a birthday gift. He has a other book from the same series and wanted to get them all. After having it read to him as a bedtime story he didn't want his parents to put it away and wanted to sleep with it. I am happy he is happy. Give it a chance it might make the child in your life happy.

Such a cute book!! My 5 year old loves it and gets such a kick out of the humor in the story. We love it overall as a family too. Someone mentioned to me that it was a bit reminiscent of The Princess Bride and I have to agree! :)

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2019
So cute and so clever. My eight year old and I love reading this book. I like the twist on the standard fairy tale, but even more because the child in the book adds to his dad’s story as his dad makes it up. Super cute!

We bought this for our 3yr old daughter and asked her for her thoughts after reading it last night for her bedtime story.

She gave it 10 out of 5 stars and her favourite bit was when that thing happened... Or so it seemed.

A great book especially for daddy to read to their child at bedtime.

I bought this book for my nephew and he loves it. It's the only book he wants to read over and over. When he does read other books he tries to add to the story just like Jamie :)

This book has definitely added a new immersive perspective to bedtimes. Love it!

A clever and fun story with great illustrations that nicely captures the 'tell me a story' nature of children's bed-time. Miss 3 really enjoyed this and I can see it becoming a family favourite. There's lots to enjoy throughout.
