Book Synopsis



A laugh-out-loud story about an enthusiastic king who learns the power of books!

It's Book Day, everyone!

And the King of Books cannot wait to show off all the things that he can do with his magnificent collection.

He can make dizzying book towers, fearsome book-quakes, and even handy book trays for his meals. Much to the horror of his trusty advisors, though, it seems that the King of Books is oblivious to their original purpose.

But when a fearsome Moat Monster takes exception to the King's antics, the King of Books has to unlock the full potential of reading in order to save the realm.

Gina Perry has crafted a comical story with friendly and bright art that treats all of her subjects with grace and compassion, and showcases the power of the written word (and also that books are much easier to read when you hold them the right side up).



Review Quotes




"Perry's colorful, crisp illustrations infuse the King's wonderfully explosive tantrums with drama. Bound to be a roaring success at storytime."--Kirkus
