This book was really funny. Especially the ways they tried to make the Queen laugh. The part that made me chuckle most was when he forgot the saw and was unable to cut someone in half. My grandkids loved it.

Read this with my 10 year old. The filler chapters felt kind of draggy at times, but we loved the jokes! Cute and fun, 3.5. rounded down
