Mister King

Rating:
Summary: Beautifully illustrated children's book
Review: This book is illustrated with gorgeous watercolor paintings that perfectly set the atmosphere for this wonderful children's story.

The king is lonely because he has no subjects, and he no longer can enjoy his beautiful home. One day a cat appears at his door, and becomes his "subject." Eventually, the king finds himself surrounded by subjects and regains his happiness.

This book touches on the importance of self-identity and how it affects our role in our relationships. The king is so anxious for subjects that he serves his subjects instead of them serving him. This story is delightful and a great book to read aloud to your youngsters.
