The Nothing King

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paula Gerritsen. When King Bear leaves behind the rich trappings of royalty, his subjects ridicule him, calling him the "nothing king." In a clever twist on happily-ever-after fairy tales, King Bear is most happy with the simple life, especially when the queen comes round to his way of thinking. Brilliant royal colors contrast with more muted colors of everyday life in the rough-edged illustrations.
