(3) K-3 Illustrated by David McKee. A king, wondering what he'd find at "the edge of the world," sets out to learn for himself (to the horror of his minions). The text is a case study in clever rhyme, and the pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations--in black-and-white except for the king--show readers that curiosity is like a light in the darkness.
