The King Who Wouldn't Sleep

32 pp. | Andersen | April, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7613-8997-2 $16.95
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Holly Swain. Determined to find the perfect prince for his daughter, a king never sleeps. A comical procession of princes is interviewed; each unsuccessfully tries to lull the king into sleep so he can speak directly to the princess. A farmer and his miscounted sheep finally succeed. This new and funny story uses a traditional fairy-tale structure. The bright, simple illustrations reward a closer look.
