It is so funny when the harp sings: “The King’s got donkey ears, the King’s got donkey ears!”

It was amazing! Everyone knew the King had donkey ears because they always went to prison after cutting his hair. I like dit when he let them all go.

The king was a little bit mean. He sent all his servants to jail. What I like about it is that at the end he freed all his servants and he learned to love his donkey ears.

I liked how it sort of had a moral to it, don't be ashamed of what you are. I didn't like any of the characters, none stood out to me. I would not recommend this book.

I liked this book. It had a nice story. The king had donkey ears which I found funny. The best character was Meg the servant. I would recommend it to others.

It was a good story. Meg was my favourite character because she was the only one that knew the king had donkey ears
