Illustrated by
Veronica Rooney.
Because of a sorcerer's curse, the prince is born with a nose shaped like a zucchini. His doting parents surround him with big-nosed servants so the prince doesn't realize how odd he looks until he falls in love with a small-nosed princess. Flat cartoonlike illustrations emphasize the prince's ridiculous appearance, but the princess sees his loyal heart in this fairy tale originally told in the eighteenth century by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont.
