Meet a clever princess in this magical adventure with a cosy ending, from the brilliant Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard.
With funny rhyming verse, bright and distinctive illustrations, The Princess and the Wizard is loved by children and parents alike – perfect for reading together!
The princess may try seven times to escape
By changing her colour and changing her shape.
But each time Princess Eliza changes – into a blue fish, a yellow chick, a red fox or a black cat – the wicked wizard finds her and sets her another horrible task. Will this plucky princess be able to outwit him and escape back to the palace in time to cut her birthday cake?
