Prince Percy and the Big Red Ruby

Prince Percy is not the most lovable person. Through his adventures he learns the value of relationships and people and he is changed by the end. The teaches that we can be kind to people even when they aren’t kind to us.

This book is really good and helps a prince turn from a peacock to really nice guy. I love reading it and seeing how he learns to serve all the people. -Hyrum age 6

I loved this story! It’s complex and descriptive, but still just right for young readers. Prince Percy learns valuable lessons and changes for the better through the example of a humble family that persists in being kind to Percy, even when he doesn’t deserve it. The tale is interesting and exciting, while teaching wonderful lessons at the same time.

This is a great story with beautiful pictures. My 7 year old said he like the story of Prince Percy because he learned not to be so greedy. I love that the writing is simple yet descriptive, just right for young readers.

I liked the messages conveyed in this book—Percy underwent positive personal change; family was treasured; individuals were considered to be important and valuable despite a lack of economic wealth; neighboring kingdoms, once at odds, reconciled through restitution; and interracial marriage was acceptable.
