The sun came up. It was a bright day, but quickly it was cast out by a huge shape. People ran as monster fell from the sky. The evil monsters tore down walls of houses.
The Princess was ready; tapping the jewel on her tiara, tight covered her and her magic armor formed around her. She raised her sword, and selected he sun toward them. Light exploded, and the castles shadow vanished. The monster screamed, the light too bright for them. They ran away, fast.
Next the Princess looked up, toward the castle. How will I get up the? People came out of their hiding, whispering and pointing at her. She smiled, waved, and looked back up. Magic boots, she thought. She jumped, and took off. It looked as if she was flying.
She landed, and right away, a giant troll came out the castle gates. It swung it’s great tree club, but the Princess caught it and threw it over it’s trolls head and into the moat. The troll ran away, terrified of her strength.
The Princess walked past the gate the troll had come out of, in the court yard. A statue stood in the center, with the name “Dab Drizard” under it, spoke and moved.
“I will not let you find me. My castle in a maze, impossible to find your way through. Your Prince is me captive, and I will rule everyone. I am more powerful than you, even with your magic armor.” The statue froze still.
As you can see its kind of direct with basic details. Perfect for a younger person, although Id like to slightly flesh out the detail a bit. Some of the names are a little silly, but hey, its a kids story, right? its supposed to be fun.
One of the things im working on is some advice my girlfriend had heard about writing children's novels, which is to write the end. How exactly I'm going to do that is a question I'm struggling with, mostly because my story is already written. But maybe in the rewrite I can work the story with a bigger goal in mind.
Anyways, Im off to bed. Tomorrow I'm going to wake up and go about researching children book writing methods and possible ways to buy cheap vodka without sacrificing great flavor. God knows the second I feel better Im going to be downing shots and writing long into the night again.

Well whats important is you figure out what message you want to send. It doesnt have to be anything like "save the planet RECYCLE!" or whatever but something that has to do with the character's change in attitude or developing relationships. Do you want this princess to be a strong female figure? if so maybe have an ending that highlights how independent and strong willed she is. or how much she loves her kingdom and wants to save it. :)
