King of Skittledeedoo

For children aged 4 to 8, The King of Skittledeedoo is a delightful story of literacy and the importance of reading, told by an award-winning writer and illustrated by a major artist from Warner Bros.

Skittledeedoo is a happy kingdom, where the King is much loved. His people are dazzled by his bejeweled crown and finely woven duds. All is well and peaceful within the kingdom, until one day, the kingdom burns down and the King is left with only a towel.

Without his crown and robe, the King has no proof that he is, in fact, the true King. To make matters worse, he cannot read or spell. His people are stunned to think that their King could be illiterate, however, they are benevolent and send him to school where he becomes the star pupil. He eventually fashions a new crown, and the people accept him as King and everyone lives happily ever after.
