The Emperor of Absurdia

32 pp. | HarperCollins | February, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-144929-1 $17.99
(3) K-3 Upon waking, the "Emperor of Absurdia" encounters the "Wardrobe Monster," then goes on a "dragon hunt" in his "tricycle chair," looking under "pillow hills." Readers will guess that this world, rendered in fantastical, vaguely Seussian art, is a product of the young protagonist's mind (as is revealed at book's end), but tykes with similarly active imaginations will enjoy the ride.
