The Three Wishes

The knight and his horse from the best-selling The Kiss That Missed are back with a third fantastic adventure. This time they are appointed royal babysitters for the weekend, but it's a lot harder than they think! The knight and his horse are left in charge of the royal prince and princess. But they find babysitting so tiring that the knight makes a wish... and before he knows it, it comes true. Instead of babysitting, therefore, they encounter a night full of magic and surprises and before too long, they are wishing they were babysitting once again!
