Mustache!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin Cornell. Instead of fixing his kingdom's roads and playgrounds, vain and clueless King Duncan keeps presenting his people with cheesy art and banners bearing his self-satisfied likeness, upon which his royal subjects finally paint mustaches in retaliation. The plot escalates deliciously from there--and then fizzles out in an anticlimactic denouement. The caricaturish illustrations recall Mad magazine at its best.
