King Hugo's Huge Ego

40 pp. | Candlewick | July, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-5004-9 $16.99
(3) K-3 An entire village puts up with its megalomaniacal king. When he gets on the wrong side of a maiden (who's really a sorceress), she decides to teach him a lesson to suit his crime. Well-built rhymes sustain the plot to the fabulous finish. The gouache art is loud and busy, but then again, demure and refined this story isn't.
