Illustrated by
Stern Nijland.
Fresh from their wedding (King & King), King Bertie and King Lee are pleased to discover, upon their return from honeymooning in the jungle, that a little jungle girl has stowed away in their suitcase to present herself for adoption. The collage illustrations are a lively jumble, but the rambling story is incoherent, lacking the folktale structure of the slyly effective first book.

In this mischievous twist on a familiar motif, a bachelor prince finds something lacking with each princess his mother draws to his attention until the last candidate brings along her cute brother. Silly but affectionate collage illustrations match the text for whimsical irreverence. Missing the political point, the young audience will probably come to the conclusion that this prince likes boys better than girls, which, of course, he does.
