A Seussian spin on a conventional fairy tale, \u003ci\u003eThe King's Stilts \u003c\/i\u003eis as topical today as when it was first published in 1939. It's the story of a devoted king who works hard and plays hard—and whose entire kingdom is threatened when his beloved stilts are stolen and he is too distraught to do his job. Written in prose instead of rhyme (unlike Seuss's later works), \u003ci\u003eThe King's Stilts\u003c\/i\u003e nevertheless addresses subjects that we know Dr. Seuss was passionate about throughout his life: duty (as in \u003ci\u003eHorton Hears a Who\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHorton Hatches the Egg\u003c\/i\u003e); the abuse of power (as in \u003ci\u003eThe 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eYertle the Turtle\u003c\/i\u003e); deceit (as in \u003ci\u003eThe Bippolo Seed \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e How the Grinch Stole Christmas)\u003c\/i\u003e—and even cats (as in \u003ci\u003eThe Cat in the Hat\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eI Can Lick 30 Tigers Today\u003c\/i\u003e)!
