The four books in this series are fun to read and convey a message -- that problems can be solved without resorting to government to force solutions. They are quick and easy reads that even my children enjoyed, much like fairy tales. I recommend buying the entire series of books, of which this book is the last one, the culmination of Princess Navina's journey. The series of books presents some points worthy of discussion regarding the role of government in our lives, and the use of force. Reading the books would be a good starting point for class discussions.
Great Book

This is one of a series of books of the adventures of Princess Navina, and they are all great. In her travels, she discovers how different governments rule over their people, and the underlying effects of their rules. This book describes the final voyage of Princess Navina, when she comes across the country without a government! It is fun and quick to read. I will be sharing this with other people.
Beautifully written, required reading

This is the first of the "Princess Navina" series I've read, and I'm just blown away by how well done it is. It is beautifully written in the great tradition of childrens' books also being good literature. It quickly and convincingly teaches its lessons without being pedantic, boring, or dogmatic. It is optimistic and fun-loving in tone, making it an easy and welcome read for children and adults alike. Finally, if read by children, its message of the importantce of generosity, cooperation, and nonviolence could positively shape entire lifes. I believe children and adults of all ages will benefit greatly from reading this book. I'll definitely be giving this book away to nieces, nephews, and even brothers and sisters at Christmas.
