After rattling around the Prince's bedroom, it flies out the window and floats into the dark forest, where it has no business to be. The King decides to do something about it. He orders the Knight to climb on his horse, ride into the forest, and bring back the kiss. But the forest is filled with spooky things that frighten both the Knight and his horse. How will they ever succeed in bringing the kiss back to the castle? This funny story features Daivd Melling's atmospheric and richly colored illustrations on every page. It makes a great bedtime story for kids who are about the same age as the Little Prince. (Ages 4-7)<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>The humorous narrative, matched by the slightly goofy illustrations, delivers its message in a lighthearted way. <p/>--<i>Horn Book Guide</i>, July-December 2002 <p/><br>Readers will find both the text and the playful, color, cartoon illustrations amusing. Melling captures great expressions in his caricatures of the bewildered prince, the terrified knight and horse, and the gleeful royal family when the kiss is returned. The tale is refreshingly original and relevant, showing a busy family full of love. <br>-- Be Astengo (Alachua County Library, Gainesville, FL)<i> School Library Journal <p/></i>, 2002<br>
