Read:
In a kingdom far from here, there was a prince who had been preparing his entire life to be king. As a child, he learned that he couldn't hide behind the curtain or walk in a skateboard and rollerblading through the corridors. He should have good table manners, know how to dance, ride, play golf and exercise. He had to memorize the history of his country and the geography of the world. A charming prince grew up, one that every princess wants to marry.
But it turns out that every time he talked to a princess, he started yawning. It was inevitable! And he, ever so kind, ended up getting caught up in this nasty habit. The whole kingdom only talked about it. But the poor man had his reasons: the princesses only knew how to talk about clothes, hairdressing, diet, hats… There's no man who doesn't yawn with such talk! So, the prince decides to change his look and travel unrecognized. And isn't it that on a train he meets a girl, he starts talking about books and doesn't just yawn once? What secret was there in this conversation?
This you can find out in the book. The Yawning Prince, another title by Ana Maria Machado […]. With beautiful illustrations by Taline Schubach, it's worth trying to find out what this girl's secret was.
