"The grouchiest character since the Grinch. --School Library
Journal, starred review
A hilarious, heartwarming picture book from a New York Times
bestselling author and award-winning illustrator about a tiny king who
grows into a big-hearted monarch after he banishes almost his entire
court from the palace.
Tiny Cedric, King ME the First does not like being small. AT ALL. So he
decides to banish anyone taller than him from his palace. Which is
everyone, basically. The only ones left are the babies. And now they're
in charge of the Royal Duties!
How will Cedric cope--especially now that he must kiss boo-boos and read
bedtime stories? Will he become a kinder, gentler, BIGGER king?
Filled with colorful illustrations and ensuing hi-jinks, this charming
picture book is perfect for children of all ages AND sizes!
