The kids always enjoy a humorous princess story and this book fit the bill, perfectly.

Princess Polly loves horse riding and of course, the King and Queen are aghast that she’s not interested in practicing her princess wave or trying on tiaras.

She’s annoyed with her parents’ restrictions until she sees a poster for Pony Games where the first prize is a Royal Wish. Naturally, Princess Polly gets what she wants.

Excerpt

“If I’m in costume, no one will know it’s me!”

Princess Polly spent the next hour looking at her father’s crowns. The King talked and talked and talked.

Polly didn’t hear him. She was thinking about her costume.
