The King's Stilts
One of the earliest picture books from Dr. Seuss, this charming classic reminds readers that when we work hard, we should also take the time to PLAY hard too!
In the Kingdom of Binn, King Birtram works very hard, up at five every morning to ensure the kingdom is running smoothly. But at five o’clock in the afternoon, the workday ends and it’s time to play—and in the case of King Birtram, that means racing around town on a pair of red stilts! But sour old Lord Droon doesn’t think that this kind of fun befits Binn’s king. . . .
