(4) K-3 When Queen Grumpy gives birth to Prince Grumpy the Sixth, he actually comes out smiling (gasp!). After doctors rule out gas as the cause of the "disfigurement," King Grumpy assumes the "horrid look." Readers will relish being smarter than this all-dog royal family. They'll also enjoy the sight-gag-rich illustrations (though distractingly fuzzy resolution gives some a synthetic look).
