A young prince, who dislikes war, cleverly provides an alternative to fighting.

Teaching Ideas:
The book provides a springboard to discussing alternatives to war and fighting. Learners might enjoy comparing the three kings with a three-way Venn diagram with Prince Fabien in the common area. Students might want to compare this fable with the real-life non-violence of Gandhi in the book of that name by Demi. The class could brainstorm a list of other modern people who have worked for peace and the research them on the Internet.
