Why Kings and Queens Don't Wear Crowns

(4) K-3 Translated by Mari Elise Sevig-Fajardo. Illustrated by Svein Nyhus. Little Prince Olav adores his crown, but his enthusiastic participation in Norwegian pastimes--like building snowmen and going sledding--damages it. In this tale of a monarchical family moving toward modernization, the author's verbosity is balanced by amusingly angular illustrations that capture the pomp of regal affairs. A CD of the story read by the author, with Norwegian background music, is included.
