Description: A rollicking, laugh-out-loud, fish butt-tastic tale about a fight over a crown--and the power it holds--with a surprising twist ending.
Once upon a time, in a peaceful village nearer than you think, a mysterious box appeared outside the gates of a castle. Inside the box was a crown and some instructions (well, one instruction): Whoever has the crown makes the rules! NO exceptions! So naturally, the guard who found the crown put it on and became king. This led to a dizzying tug-of-war (literally) between the king, the villagers, some fish butt-addicted alligators, and one very, very large orange dragon--all of whom believed the crown and the power were rightfully theirs. Needless to say, the peaceful village? Yeah, not so peaceful anymore.Review Quotes: "Stohler's parable makes an irreverent, silly, and hilarious case for democratic voting practices. A persuasive, funny argument in favor of democracy." --Kirkus Reviews
