<P><B>A delightful fable addressing the futility of war, perfect for early discussions of bullying and human rights</B></P><P>The little king was always grumpy. "I am fed up with being the little king of a tiny nation!" he shouted. "I want to rule over an enormous country and be famous!" So the little king decided to start a war. But when the soldiers look around the battlefield for their war-happy king and find him nowhere in sight, the king's war doesn't work out quite the way he planned. Michel Streich's witty text and amusing illustrations make this a perfect picture book for parents and children to share. This engaging and thought-provoking story about conflict exposes the foolishness of war with a light touch.
