Review
This was the most adorable fairy tale! It brought a smile to my face at the end. You were rooting for the little robot the whole time trying to save his sister. I liked how instead of turning to a dark ending, it ended happily ever after. The story could almost continue with a sequel.

The illustrations made this book so magical. It was beautifully drawn and delightful. ( )

2/5

A sweet (but looong) story about a little wooden robot and a log princess. In summary, the log princess accidentally get's taken away when she is in her log state. The robot adventures to find her, but can't continue the journey alone. He wakes her and soon after he's too tired to walk, so she continues their journey home. She eventually falls back asleep and turns into a log. A witch helps bring them both back to life and back to their parents castle. A great story to show how siblings will do anything for one another, and how selfless acts can help you in return. The illustrations are extremely well done and are in great detail! ( )
