She casts a spell so that his head will grow every time he says something haughty. Pretty soon it's disgustingly huge! Finally, our king and sorceress meet again and not only does he learn his lesson, he finds love. Aw. I think this will kill at pajama story time. The illustrations really grossed me out as the king's head got all sloppy and sweaty and swollen, but I think it will mesmerize the kids. I also love to read aloud a good bouncing rhyme. ( ) The underlining life lesson is a good one for young children to be conscious of. The author does a good job of conveying the importance of being humble. That being said, the illustrations of the king falling off the wall had a humpty dumpty feel to them which I wasn't too terribly impressed with. I would have preferred a little more creativity there but other than that it was an amusing story. no reviews | add a review
