About this item

Fairy tale meets concept book - and a tiny king welcomes big changes - in this inspired story from Japan, beautifully illustrated with bold, geometric art.Once upon a time there was a tiny king who lived in a big castle guarded by lots of big soldiers. Every day the tiny king eats dinner at his big table (he can never finish it all) , rides on his big horse (he is thrown off every time) , bathes in his big bath (not much fun) , and sleeps, not very well, in his big bed. The tiny king is very sad and lonely, until one day he meets a big princess and asks her to be his queen. Not long after, they are blessed with children - lots of children. Now everything is just the right size, bath time is a real riot, and the tiny king sleeps soundly at last. With bright, bold cutouts and a whimsical use of collage, Japanese artist Taro Miura creates a witty, heartwarming story with huge appeal for readers big and small.
