<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When the King's stilts are stolen and hidden, and he can no longer enjoy his play hour, the whole kingdom is threatened with destruction until a page boy bravely saves the day.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A seventy-five-year-old King gets new vintage cover art for his anniversary! <p/> Celebrate the 75th birthday of Dr. Seuss's classic treatise on the importance of a balanced life with our Anniversary Edition featuring cover art from the books original publication! A Seussian spin on a conventional fairy tale, <i>The King's Stilts </i>is as topical today as when it was first published in 1939. It's the story of a devoted king who works hard and plays hard--and whose entire kingdom is threatened when his beloved stilts are stolen and he is too distraught to do his job. Written in prose instead of rhyme (unlike Seuss's later works), <i>The King's Stilts</i> nevertheless addresses subjects that we know Dr. Seuss was passionate about throughout his life: duty (as in <i>Horton Hears a Who</i> and <i>Horton Hatches the Egg</i>); the abuse of power (as in <i>The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins</i> and <i>Yertle the Turtle</i>); deceit (as in <i>The Bippolo Seed </i>and<i> How the Grinch Stole Christmas)</i>--and even cats (as in <i>The Cat in the Hat</i> and <i>I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today</i>)! A perfect way to introduce new readers to an old classic, or to reward existing fans with a collectible new edition. Follow the Good Doctor's advice: After a hard day of work, have fun with a great book like <i>The King's Stilts</i>!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Theodor Seuss Geisel--aka <b>Dr. Seuss</b>--is one of the most beloved children's book authors of all time.
