This book is very exciting , I especially liked it when princess Alice think it is time to wish. Then she made her wish then at once, golden coins rattled down the chimney and bounced onto the floor.

I liked how the bone got there and that the princess looked after the girl and boy when they hurt themselves

I like it, it is about a royal family who are poor and have 19 children. Alice the oldest always looks after her brothers and sisters, and I like her. I would recommend it to people who like royalty and kindness and for 3 to 8 year olds.

I liked it when Alice wished and saved her family. I didn’t like it when the wishbone was thrown in the fire. I think Elliot would like this book.

I liked it because the princess was clever and used the wishbone when she really needed it.
