(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Huyck. Prince Maximilian talks incessantly, so his dim-witted brothers ask for a spell that restricts him to nine words. All is well until the finicky Flintians arrive in the kingdom, and Maximilian's brevity on the subject of their absurd customs nearly causes international disaster. Well-used speech bubbles prevent Maximilian's logorrhea from overwhelming the entertaining plot. Huyck lavishes his caricature-packed cartoons with hilarious detail.
