The Queen, the Admiral, the General, the Cook, the Prime Minister, and the Gardener all tell the child stories, but none of them are as good as her father's. It's the Maid who figures out a solution by taking the Little Princess down to the library and explaining that books hold stories within them. The Princess reads and reads until she finds the book with Daddy's story in it. Excited about her newfound ability to read, the Little Princess still doesn't want to go to bed.
