The Three Princes are all desperate to win the love of Princess Halima, and when set a challenge by her father, set out to find the most beautiful, magical gift they can find. But when disaster strikes, will they be magical enough? Full of rich, bold illustrations, this traditional Arabian tale is humorously retold by double-Carnegie-winner Berlie Doherty.

A summary on pages 30 and 31 of the magical objects that the princes find helps readers to recap the story.

Topaz/Band 13 books offer longer and more demanding reads for children to investigate and evaluate.

Ideas for guided reading at the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
