Meet a pompous young prince, who believes he can do anything – without ever needing to practise! That is until he meets a wise, retired witch who teaches him the most magical lesson . . .
Prince Lupin has jousted and feasted and now he’s BORED. But when he decides to spend the afternoon ‘helping’ the gardener and the palace cook, he leaves a trail of chaos and destruction behind him. After all, it takes practise to become good at something, even if you are a prince!
After an embarrassing musical performance live on stage, Prince Lupin flees into the forest where he meets someone rather special – a retired witch with a passion for pottery. With her patience, perseverance and friendship Prince Lupin finally learns that practise makes magic . . . and that it helps to have manners too!
Fantastically warm and funny verse from award-winning poet and writer, Kathryn Simmonds, with richly detailed illustrations from Becky Colvin.
Princes Don’t Practise is an incredibly funny and relatable tale with an important message for all – practise makes magic! Perfect for anyone who struggles with NOT being instantly perfect, which is most children.
