The Royal Treasure Measure

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ivica Stevanovic. Using spoons, sausages, etc., a kingdom struggles to get accurate measurements. To decide on an official unit, King Balbazar hatches a contest, the winner of which will marry his daughter. Arzo, who's so poor he has only his feet to measure with, prevails. Deadpan speech-bubble commentary from humorously caricatured kingdom citizens outshines the off-kilter rhymes in this pourquoi tale.
