The Last King of Angkor Wat

40 pp. | Abrams | September, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-1354-5 $17.95
(3) K-3 In this original fable, four animals that all wish to become King meet Elephant, an enlivened statue from the ancient Cambodian temple of Angkor Wat. He invites them to race to demonstrate that they have the regal qualities of "strength, compassion, resilience, and courage." Intricate, handsome digital renderings depict the temple, animals, and lush countryside; a butterfly hides in each spread.
